Born in Chester-on-Moore, Greene volunteered for service originally with the Arcer Army, but a clerical error caused him to be enrolled in the Arcer Air Force. Greene was originally assigned as a navigation officer with No.81 Squadron, transporting heavy goods and soldiers around Arcerion and Crona.
