The Cyprus Regiment was a military unit of the British Army.
Created by the British Government during World War II (12 April 1940), it was made up of volunteers from the Greek Cypriot, Turkish Cypriot, Armenian, Maronite and Latin inhabitants of Cyprus, but also included other Commonwealth nationalities.
In the post-war years the regiment served in Cyprus and the Middle East, including Palestine during the 1945-1948 period.
The regiment was disbanded on 31 March 1950.
The badge of the Cyprus Regiment was a shield charged with two lions passant guardant in pale and ensigned with the Imperial Crown and below the shield was a scroll bearing the title of the regiment.
