October 1955 CE

Field Marshal John Harding, chief of the British imperial general staff, is named governor of Cyprus shortly after the abortive tripartite meeting, and arrives on the island to assume his post in October 1955.

Harding immediately begins talks with Makarios, describing a multi-million-pound development plan that will be adopted contingent on acceptance of limited self-government and postponement of self-determination.

Harding wants to leave no doubt that he is here to restore law and order, and Grivas wants the new governor to realize that a get-tough policy is not going to have any great effect on EOKA.
