      abstract = {This book explores the role of the Cyprus regiment, a  military unit of the British Army, in the Second World War.  Highlighting the contribution of Cyprus to the war effort,  the book contributes to the limited historiography on the  military engagement of Cyprus in the Second World War.  Through an analysis of British official records and  interviews the author aims to provide the required  chronological and contextual placement of events involving  Cyprus and the Cyprus Regiment. By drawing upon veterans'  narratives and operational insights, the book offers a  personal view and assessment of the Second World War  period. The book covers a number of themes, including the  recruitment of Cypriots to the British Army and the  training they received, the establishment of the Cyprus  Volunteer Force, the experiences of Cypriot soldiers while  serving in multiple countries, and the wider impact of the  war on Cyprus, economically, socially and militarily.  Marios Siammas has worked at the British High Commission  Nicosia since June 2023. Previously he held the position of  Researcher at the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus.  He is also an independent historian and studied at Panteion  University of Social and Political Studies, Athens, Greece,  and Brunel University of West London, UK, before completing  his PhD in Defence Studies at King's College London in the  UK. He has mostly published on the Cypriot contribution to  the Second World War and the modern history of Cyprus.},
