EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a haunting moment in history during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in the 1970s. Inside the Ledra Palace Hotel, Greek Cypriot soldiers stand resolute, their guns at the ready, as they defend against the invading forces. The hotel, once a symbol of luxury and tranquility, has now become a battleground. Amidst this chaos, the Greek Cypriot soldiers have taken charge of protecting not only themselves but also residents and journalists who sought refuge within its walls. With determination etched on their faces, these brave soldiers embody strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The date imprinted on this photograph - July 22nd, 1974 - serves as a stark reminder of the violence that unfolded during those tumultuous times. As conflict raged across this Mediterranean island nation, lives were forever changed. Photographer Peter Stone expertly captures both the tension and humanity present within this scene. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era defined by military occupation and territorial disputes. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how war can transform even seemingly peaceful locations into battlefields. It stands as a testament to those who fought for their homeland amidst unimaginable circumstances – heroes whose stories should never be forgotten.
