Today, Sikhs in Cyprus have established their own places of worship and community centres, and are an integral part of the country's cultural diversity.

Concurrently, Sikh cavalrymen played a role in a covert agreement between the British and Indian army, sailing from Malta in the Mediterranean Sea to seize control of Cyprus in cooperation with the Ottoman Empire.

The Guru Granth Sahib was taken to various locations around the country, allowing people of all faiths to view and learn about the Sikh religion.

Alongside members of the Royal British Legion, they laid a wreath on behalf of the Sikh community at the Nicosia War Cemetery.

The memorial stands as a stone pylon adorned with wings and an urn, bearing the engraved names of the honoured individuals.
