episode 10: #10 Cyprus | Farmer John in the Buffer Zone? | Fancy a Brew?
Since 1974, our troops have been deployed to Cyprus on Operation TOSCA, the UK's longest-running UN mission. Around 260 soldiers from the British Army form the largest contingent of the multinational force.
In an area of continuing tension, they patrol 24/7 along the Buffer Zone that separates the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The Buffer Zone extends approximately 180km across the island, and patrolling helps to keep the peace and maintain stability in the country.
Join Major Holt, Private Ball and Lance Corporal Quigley from 6 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps as they share their stories and experiences of life inside the Buffer Zone on Operation TOSCA.
