Danish UN soldiers in Cyprus

På mission i ferieparadis
Mange forbinder den lille Middelhavsø Cypern med hyggelige charterferier, men øen er også skueplads for en hidtil uløselig og til tider voldelig konflikt. Hele 23.000 danske soldater har igennem årene været i FN-tjeneste på Cypern, så på den måde var det det største danske bidrag til en FN-mission.

Excellent, I served in 1971 for 8 months and this brings back some wonderful memories.

Wow growing up in Cyprus, 30 years after this movie, is like watching a movie about some far away exotic / prehistoric island

Wow that was amazing to watch this movie .Was with Dancon 3&4 C-Coy and recognize many of the places in the movie The green line etc and the locals doing the daily chores

Dancon 38-42 . Delta 3-5 & Delta 1-7 . The mission was to try to keep the peace in order, between north and south, since after 1974 , in my mind it was a success . 💕 to Cyprus.
