Suez 56

The Suez Crisis 1956 – Paras in Cyprus

Welcome to www.suez56.co.uk. A place to view pictures and read about The Parachute Regiment in the 1950′s in Cyprus which led to the Last Parachute Drop into Action by the British Army during the The Suez Crisis. This website is also in loving memory of my dad, Tony Lowe 10th Feb 1929 – 5th July 2009. RIP Mum and Dad.

All pics on this site are copyright AJ Lowe apart from photo of Suez drop, which is taken from the front cover of Brigadier Paul Crook’s Book ‘Came The Dawn’ and Corporal Lowe ‘counting bullets’ which was first published by the Cyprus Times. We are now receiving more pictures. Many Thanks to Derek Charlesworth who has recently contributed pictures of his dad’s time (Also called Derek Charlesworth). Here’s a taster!
