9/Here is Argyros Louka. Joined the #CyprusRegiment in Sep. 1940. He was seriously injured which led to the amputation of his left arm. After he was demobilised he came to the UK for treatment and was given a job @PoppyLegion poppy factory. He met HMTQ in 1955 @RoyalFamily.

@CaptainJimDandy @Andrew_Adonis @RoyalFamily @CyprusInUK @UKinCyprus @foreignoffice @commonwealthsec @DefenceCyprus @PoppyLegion @UKCypriotFed @NEPOMAK @CWGC Yes I do. Thx for pointing it out. Bit ahead of myself. Thrown off by today's Portsmouth celebrations. 6 June 1944 was indeed the Normandy Landings. Here's more info on the #Cyprus Regiment https://t.co/FMIUGqOAPj #WWII #LestWeForget #DDay75 #DDay #RemembranceDay #CyprusRegiment

As we remember #MonteCassino75 we pay tribute to all soldiers and volunteers who fought for a decisive push towards final victory. The #CyprusRegiment was also present and fought alongside allied troops.#LestWeForget @CyprusinItaly @PoppyLegion

2 weeks before #DDay was the long, hard-fought battle of #MonteCassino. Like a roll-call of the British Empire, nations came together to fight. 75 years on, we encourage others to mark the end of the Italian Campaign on 12 May. We fought together. We remember together. #WW2

Over 90 percent of mobile canteens serving bombed-out families in Britain during #WW2 were donated from abroad. These ones are from #Cyprus, #Malta, #Palestine and #Malaya. #History
