5 thoughts on “Cyprusscene – Pick of the Week – 17th November

  1. I served in Nth Cyprus in 1957 -59 with the 1st Wilts. Who was responsible for an area from A/A to the West of Kyrenia
    Is there any one from the Wilts Regiment who was there ? I was in the S. Company stationed in Agirda and Aisa Ambrosia camps, with frequent visits to B. Co. in Kyrenia Castle.

      1. Yes I recognised the photo of the camp, and remembering wakeing up every morning to the mountain at back of the camp. On my visit (with my wife ) some 30 + years later.I filmed the very concrete base that I lived on, for over 1 year, and pointed out the very spot where my iron bed was situated. Many memories flooded back. Like where the latrines were, which was then only a hole in the ground,with a wooden roof over, so a wide berth was given to that area, as the remains of it must still be there, and we did not wish to fall in it after all these years I filmed much of the area that was left of the camp, but a lot of it is now being built on, so by now none of it will be left.. Ha!! to be that young again as we were then.

      2. Thank you for your comment, very interesting. I have written to you separately by email.

    1. Thank you for your comment. It is a coincidence because very recently I published an article about the Wiltshire Regiment in Cyprus which was written by Colin Hewgill. You seem to have served at some of the same camps too. I am sure you will be interested in reading Colin’s memories, click here

      Do you recognise this photo of Agirda Camp?
