Maybe then just maybe you will understand a little of our struggle to survive and stop feeling sorry for yourselves

May I suggest 100mg of Strychnine

Very quick ....

What vintage is that ?

I'll withhold prescribing that for you, for now, as I see a glimmer of rationality sprouting in your cerebellum ...

Perhaps you can try some arsenic. It will do wonders for your complexion and its good for sea food diet. You see it and you eat it.

No, it's a train.

Thanks Paphitis ... those are a good start.

I get the impression EOKA were very protective of the women who helped the struggle ...

KAKKINOU, Loulla

Nicosia-born, she was 18 years-old when she was arrested in March 1956, the first female to be charged with terrorist offenses. She was released from prison on 13.08.57. She often visited GRIVAS at his mountain hideout. EOKA claimed she was a housewife.

Very sketchy, as it's from the Britain's small wars site ..

From another site, I think this may be her but not certain ...





If so, I think someone has made a film of her life (maybe her daughter?).

I have a book at home written by a very senior female EOKA operative or branch leader. I forget her name as I have not read the book yet.

I will let you know the title so that you can get a copy and read it.

BTW, I am not ignoring your question in the "ERCAN" thread. I will respond to it soon.

The book title would be most welcome .... I'd also like to get to the bottom of the rumour about Grigoris Afxentiou having a secret wedding ... so romantic (and sad).

Please do look into an answer to the question on "Ercan" as I seriously think, if someone is in breach of an Institute's Charter/license conditions, it should become universally effective against them ... wouldn't it be great? To have Turkey lose its licence if it carries on flying to "Ercan"?

@Oracle

The book I was referring to was:

The Cyprus Liberation Struggle 1955-1959 - Through the eyes of a Woman EOKA Area Commander.

The copy I have is a translation from the Greek version.

It was translated by John Vickers.

You can get the book from Epiphaniou Publications. ISBN 9963-576-76-1



SERAPHIM, Elenitsa, Miss.

Captured in December 1956 by the Security Forces, she was released from Nicosia Prison on medical grounds on 14.12.57. She had started out as one of GRIVAS's female admirers who threw bombs at military personnel. 'She was trained in the use of revolvers and the making of time bombs and in due course she was appointed her leader of the whole Larnaca district.

GRIVAS said in his Memoirs. 'She arranged sabotage at the Dhekelia base, damaging the new £1 million military hospital and other military installations. She also formed a guerrilla group and took personal charge of the Eoka arsenal in the town (Larnaca) 23 shotguns, 12 revolvers, 2 Stens.' As the Area Commander, she used many code-names, including Themos, Myron, Artemis and Philothei.
