In Vouni, Limassol, Cyprus, began the tumultuous journey of Andrew Neroupos, a man who shed tears and blood fighting for EOKA against the British colonists. The young farmer’s son chose not to follow in his father’s footsteps, instead aspiring to learn a trade that would allow him to escape the confines of village life. Trained as a builder, Andrew worked hard for his livelihood. Yet, the future had something even greater in store for the Limassolian: to meet George Grivas, join the EOKA activities, be imprisoned and narrowly escape the gallows, and eventually migrate to the Antipodes to pursue the life he had always sought.
