EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a soldier of the 1st Battalion The Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge's Own) in riot gear, standing guard in the streets of Cyprus during the turbulent year of 1958. The soldier's determined expression and the ominous graffiti on the wall behind him serve as stark reminders of the political unrest and violence that gripped the island during this period. The photograph is part of an album of 101 images and newspaper cuttings, which document the experiences of the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment during their service in Cyprus between 1955 and 1958. The National Organization of Cypriot Fighters (EOKA), a militant group seeking union with Greece, had been waging a campaign of terror against British rule, and the soldiers were deployed to maintain order and protect the British community. The graffiti on the wall, which reads "EOKA will win," underscores the intensity of the conflict and the determination of both sides to achieve their goals. The photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of Cyprus, a moment that would ultimately lead to the island's independence from British rule in 1960. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during times of political upheaval and the complexities of colonialism and decolonization. It also underscores the importance of historical documentation and the role that photographs play in preserving and illuminating the past.
