BRITISH PERSONNEL WHO
DIED ON ACTIVE SERVICE IN CYPRUS
APRIL 1, 1955 - DECEMBER 24, 1959
By
David Carter
THE EOKA conflict in Cyprus is certainly one of Britain's "forgotten wars". It lasted between April 1, 1955 and officially ended on December 24, 1959. At its height, more than 30,000 British troops were assigned to combat EOKA, the Greek Cypriot terrorist organization commanded by Colonel George Grivas of the Greek Army and funded by the Orthodox Church led by Archbishop Makarios.
Officially, 104 British military personnel lost their lives in Cyprus. But research conducted on behalf of BSW indicates there were more than 360 deaths.Yet there are no memorials in the length and breadth of the British Isles that carry their names.
Asked for a full list of these men, the UK's Ministry of Defense in London's Whitehall said none existed, but officials hoped to compile one soon. The task would be "difficult" and "time consuming", they claimed.
Less than a year later, without any official assistance, I sent MoD the names, ranks, service numbers and dates of death of 88 British servicemen, which left the UK government only 17 more to find. In November 2000, I passed them a further 63 names.
Since then, both as a contributor to Britain's Small Wars and a weekly columnist for CYPRUS TODAY, the English language newspaper in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus, I have been able to find more names.
The results are below. The list may not be complete. If you know of anyone left out, please contact us directly with their details. The e-mail address is: james@britains-smallwars.com
