Operation Washing was the successful destruction of the railway bridge over the Asopos River in Central Greece by four British SOE saboteurs. These included Geoffery Gordon-Creed and Donald Stott. This was detailed in the book Rogue Male by Roger Field (not to be confused with Rogue Male by Geoffery Household). It took place on 21 June 1943, as part of Operation Animals.[1]
