Burrows was also involved in bringing Greece into the First World War as a political and military ally of the United Kingdom. He was a strong, uncritical supporter of Eleftherios Venizelos.[1]
Works
Burrows was a noted archaeologist who carried out excavations in Greece at Pílos (ancient Pylos, on the Coryphasium promontory) and the nearby island of Sfaktiría. This work helped to establish studies of the Minoan civilization. With Percy and Annie Ure, he undertook major excavations at Rhitsona in Boeotia.
