Wiwi Pirini was my mums dad.My mums name is Cretena, we were told that she was given this name due to the fact that my koro was held as a prisoner of war while in Crete Greece.It is said that he managed to to escape with other prisoners and also from help of locals.There was a a book written by a prisoner of war from Poland who escaped with my grandfather, the polish solider wrote a book about his time in the camp and about his escape. my koro was mentioned in it a few times as well as other new zealand soliders.Will get in contact with my uncle to see what the name of the book is called and will post it soon
