EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the Middlesex Regiment's security duties in Cyprus between 1955 and 1958. The image shows a British soldier intensely searching the face of a Cypriot man, their expressions conveying a sense of tension and uncertainty. The background reveals other soldiers in the background, also engaged in their tasks, creating a scene of heightened alertness and vigilance. The Middlesex Regiment, also known as the Duke of Cambridge's Own, played a significant role in maintaining order during the turbulent period of intercommunal violence in Cyprus. The photograph is part of a collection of 97 images that chronicle the regiment's history from 1867 to 1993. The exact date of this photograph is 1958, a year marked by escalating tensions and clashes between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, leading to the outbreak of the Cyprus Emergency. The British military, including the Middlesex Regiment, were deployed to restore order and protect the British community. The photograph offers a glimpse into the complex and often fraught relationship between the British military and the local population during this time. It serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the Middlesex Regiment's service in Cyprus and the broader context of decolonization and the shifting political landscape of the mid-20th century.
