Canadian Soldiers in Cyprus
Canadian Soldiers in Cyprus: Understanding the human experience of peacekeeping through oral history. Camas Eriksson HIST 394 Dr. James Wood March 28, 2012 “There’s this myth about Canadians being peacekeepers and that we’ve never been to war. You just have to look at Canadian history, Canada has been at war virtually since our foundation…I was at a dinner party, about a year ago, and someone said: “What was it like serving for thirty years and never having to be in a war?” And I said, “You have no idea what you’re talking about.” I’ve been in seven combat zones where people were shooting, over the years. Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Congo, Cyprus….Every one of those places I could have been killed.”1 - Colonel John Joly (Retd.) The involvement of the Canadian military in international conflicts is a topic often left to the periphery of public consciousness. As Canadians, we take pride in our historical role as UN peacekeepers, preventing violence rather than participating in it. However, many Canadians do not truly understand what peacekeeping means for the soldiers involved. The words above, expressed by retired Colonel John Joly, reflect a common sentiment among those who have served in Canadian peacekeeping operations around the world. While researching this paper, I interviewed four men who served in the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. Colonel John Joly (Retd), Major- General Cameron Ross (Retd), Captain Terrance Swan (Retd) and Chief Warrant Officer Tom Walton (Retd) each provided an individual perspective on their time serving as part of the Canadian Airborne Regiment in Cyprus.
