  • Summary: Amateur Army film intended to illustrate some of the methods used in dealing with EOKA terrorists in Cyprus. A British vehicle-mounted patrol demonstrates the correct counter-ambush drill, forcing the ambushers to quickly retreat. A tracker team accompanied by dogs and snipers arrives by Sycamore helicopter to continue the pursuit, and intelligence gleaned from the captured terrorists then leads to the setting of a British ambush. Another team is then shown searching a house for suspects and weapons, probing the walls, floors, ceilings and surrounding ground for hidden compartments and retrieving firearms, explosives and fugitives.
