'----- the Castles of Cyprus in Lusignan andVenetian ,times with an appraisal of thefortified city of N ICaSIA.
I N my encyclopedia I l'ead,lIThe theoretical conside~
rations of the renaissance reMgarding the idea.l of a citywere inspired by the ItalianCity-State ancl took its pointof origin in the technique offortifications of the time. Acharacteristic example of apolygonal fortified city is :PalMma Nuove in the nOl'th-east ofItaly". I am not going to argue. with an encyclopedia, butpersonally I feel that the fortifications of Nfcosla are amuch better e"amble and certainly more imp,ressive (jnstas the best preserved and mosttypical Roman ruins are notfound in Rome bIlt in Jordan),
Nicosla was originally fortified by the Lusignans, butw~en the Venetians took overit was reallzed that it wouldbe impossible for the inhabitants to guard and defend thegreat length of stragglingwalls. Therefore, in 1565, theSeigniory of Venice despatchedAscanio Savorgano to report onthe fortifications. His reportwas not encouraging, "[ ant ofthe opinion that, even thoughit were in other respects suit-able, the Most Sel'ene Repu'b7dc would be iU advised to fortify it, and this jor manyreasons apm't "'om reasons ofState, as to which I am notcompetent to speak!'
However, two years laterthe present fo,rtifications wereb.egun from Savorgnano's delllgns, under the ,superintendence of Francesco Barbaro andtheir form when completed wasvery much as we see themta-day. The original medIaevalwalls were pulled down and theold circumference reduced bythree miles. Everything outsidethe new circumvaJlation wasdestroyed so that a free fieldof fire would be left for the~rtillery mounted on the bastIons (- not on the walls bet.ween the bastions). In thisgeneral destruclion nothing Wasspared; churches and palacesalike perished irrespective oftheir interest Or beauty.
Nicosia was turned into anup 10 date fort but the workwas hardly finished before thestorm burst. In 1570 the siegeof Nicosia was begun byMustafa P-asha and after onlyseven weeks the city wastaken by assaUlt.

As part of a sea-borne TaskForce with their tanks embarked in Landing Ships Tankof the Amphibious WarfareSquadron of the Royal Navy,they frequently puJt to sea onexercises. These generaliY lasted seven to nine days depending much upon sea weat.her,and included assault landmgsfrom the L.S.T. 's when thetemperature in their tanksoflten reached the 150 degreemark.
Apart from the added interests of their new and important role in peace-keeping operations on the Island and meetIng and working with troopsof so many other nationalities,the move to Cyprus with itspleasant and comparitivelytemperate climate and manyother attraCltions, has come asa welcome change.
With the Squadron so fullydeployed and occupied oversuch a wide stretch of territory it is far from easy tomuster and organise teams forcompetitive games. They have,however, managed to play anumber of games of socceragainst local teams from theLimassoljZyyi area and havefielded a Squadron side in theMinor Units League Cup atDhekelia. They will also beproducing a Squadron PoloTeatn 'ana members of theSquadron are playing in matches agains t visiting teamsfrom Jordan in early Marchat Episkopi.
The Squadron takes pride inhaving its own very enthuisiastic and expert five-man beatgroup, excellently eqUippedand looking forward to engagements in Cyprus when timepermits. Having recently played for some two hundred andfifty at the Trafalgar BaIl inBahrain with considerable succe'ss the Group look forward inconfidence to future audiences.The Squadron also boasts itsown club - 'The Triangle' named after the unit Tac Signand rUD! by Corporal Pete'Whiskers' Holden.
Having as they do, their ownhorses, two sailing dinghies, apower boat and water-skiequipment and fine sea fishmgfacilities, one might wonderhow a unit already so fUllyoccupied could find time forall the recreational outletsavailable at Zyyi, however, 'A'Squadron have already shownsuch spirit and good will thatth,ey shOUld find no difficulty.

VIET-NAM:
IN G letter to members of the Security Council over the week-end, Akiri Matsui of Japan, the Council President for Febr.uarr,
has said that seriaus differences of view on the question of VietNam have "given rise to the general faeHng that it would be inopportune for the Council to hold a further debate" on the problemat this time.
The President added, however, that from the Council'sproceedings of the 1st and 2ndFebruary and from consultations which have been heldsince then, he "could detect acertain degree of common feeling among many members".
He summarized this as follows: "1.

There appearsalso to be a feeling that thetermination of the conflict inViet-Nam should be soughtthrough negotiations in an appropriate form in order to worl{out the implementation of theGeneva Accords".
