In Iraq… The Allied forces occupy Ur. The 20th Indian Brigade has made this advance from Basra but can go no further for the moment because repairs to roads and railroad tracks are needed.

In the Mediterranean… On Crete, the Allied forces fight some small, rearguard actions to cover their retreat to the evacuation beaches at Sfakia. On the night of May 28-29th, the Heraklion garrison of 4000 men is taken off by a force of cruisers and destroyers. These ships are heavily attacked while withdrawing. Two destroyers are sunk and the two cruisers involved are hit.
