The Kyrenia Castle Escape took place early in the Cyprus Emergency.〔("Introduction to Cyprus Emergency", ''Cyprus'' ) at Britains Small Wars〕 A number of the EOKA were being held prisoner at Kyrenia Castle and on 23 September 1955, sixteen of them escaped by climbing down sheets tied to be a rope.〔DETAINEES BREAK OUT OF PRISON: Soldiers Shot in Street The Manchester Guardian (1901-1959) ((UK) ) 14 Nov 1955: 1.〕 The escapees were: Marcos Drakos, Christakis Eleftheriou, Evangelos Evangelakis, Mikis Fyrillas, Lambros Kafkallides, Constantinos Loizou, Pavlos Nikitas, Petros Papaioannou, Panayiotis Papanastasiou, Andreas Polyviou, Michalakis Rossides, Lefkios Rodosthenous, Stelios Siamisis, Petros Stylianou, Demos Vryonides, Charilaos Xenofontos. Seven were caught but the other nine - Evangelakis, Xenofontos, Kafkalides, Drakos, Rodosthenous, Fyrillas, Polyviou, Eleftheriou, and Nikitas - joined EOKA guerrilla outfits. The incident was extremely embarrassing to the British government.〔("The EOKA struggle during the Governorship of Armitage (1 April - 3 October 1955)", ''A history of the liberation struggle of EOKA (1955-1959)'' ) accessed 7 November 2013〕 Evangelakis was recaptured in February 1957.〔Slain British Soldier Found Special to The New York Times..
