This I think ocurred in Nicosia, during the 'troubles'; I believe they were TC - not sure if they were Police or not - it is a well known photograph.

Three British policemen serving in Cyprus in 1956. They were patrolling Ledra Street, when an EOKA gunman, shot them down. One man is dead, another dying, and Sergeant Webb, with bullets in his neck, stands helplessly watching the fleeing gunman. It happened outside the Cyprus Mail building. Veteran Editor, Victor Bodker is walking towards the camera at right.
