*SPECIAL!* Cypriot Naming Conventions and WWI Enlistment Data with Andrekos Varnava

9 min•15 februari 2026

Om avsnittet

Ever heard of the names "Finikou" or "Pastirou?" Neither have I! In this bonus clip from episode 31 on "Cyprus in the Great War: The Cypriot Mule Corps with Andrekos Varnava," Andrekos helps me work through the enlistment data from my grandparents' villages. We discuss Cypriot naming conventions and the frustrating dearth of data based on the inconsistent record keeping and the unusual Cypriot names from the period in a lighthearted discussion. Enjoy!

Some of the roll call can be found in Andrekos' book, "Serving the Empire in the Great War."*
