EOKA fighter killed in a clash with British troops, July 1958

Photograph, Cyprus (1954-1959), 1958.

The British always found it hard to catch or kill EOKA (National Organisation of Cypriot) Fighters despite having around 17,000 troops on the island by mid-1956. EOKA enjoyed the support of the majority of the Greek-Cypriot population and information about EOKA and its activities was almost impossible to obtain.
