Commemoration of Cyprus anniversary

November 10, 2009 12:00 AM

The 50th Anniversary of the end of the four-year Cyprus Emergency, during which 371 members of HM Armed Forces lost their lives, has been commemorated by a special Motion in the House of Commons Tabled by Colchester MP Bob Russell.

His Motion follows the unveiling on Remembrance Sunday of a permanent memorial in the Old British Cemetery in Kyrenia.

The Cyprus Emergency lasted from 1955 to 1959. Many of those who lost their lives were National Service conscripts. Those who died were 274 from the Army, 28 Royal Navy and Royal Marines, and 69 Royal Air Force.

    If you are a resident of the Colchester constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.

    • If you agree, Bob Russell, the Liberal Democrats, and their elected representatives may use the information you provide to contact you about issues you may find of interest. Some of the contacts may be automated. You can opt out of these contacts at any time by contacting us.
