Best bet would be to look up the unit he was in on Google. See if you can find more info on dates, units etc. they may be of more help. Hope you get what you're looking for.

Captain George Skaltsas, who was surely alive until 2007 living in Athens, when I saw him last time, was the most decorated officer in Greek Army, with the absolutely amazing record of 6 (six) promotion οn heroism. The whole strategic of the action of the Greek company was designed by C. Skaltsas. Captain George Skaltsas was friend with distinguished and famous Col. Koumanakos from the years of Greek Civil War (1946 -1949). It is very interesting to mention that Skaltsas was a student of Law School of University of Athens without any aim to become officer. At the war of 1940-1941 (WW2) he was enlisted as corpal. After of about 9 years of war he had been captain!!!! It was in 1947 when Koumanakos (then major) and Skaltsas met in the battlefield. Koumanakos and Skaltsas had about 9 years of battle experience when they arrived in Korea. I think that we must refer the leader of the company, captain George Skaltsas.

Apparently, the troops didn't think to well of him. Interesting comment on the American Lt who always found his duty further to the rear. Apparently, the troops didn't think to well of him.
