'''Charalambos Mouskos''' was a [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] freedom fighter during the [[EOKA]] struggle against the British ([[1955]] - [[1959]]).

He was born in Panagia, [[Paphos province]], on [[May 19]], [[1932]], the son of Georgios and Anastasia Mouskos (and cousin of [[Archbishop Makarios III]]).

After receiving his primary and secondary education in [[Paphos]], Mouskos studied type-setting in [[Greece]] and became supervisor of the printing press of the Cyprus Archbishopric which served the struggle by printing propaganda leaflets.

When the [[EOKA]] campaign for "Enosis" (union with Greece) broke out on [[April 1]], [[1955]], Mouskos became one of five leaders in charge of sabotage operations in [[Nicosia]]. In this capacity, he was directly responsible to EOKA leader [[Georgios Grivas]]-Digenis.
When he was betrayed, he took to the mountains as a guerrila fighter forming, with [[Markos Drakos]] and others, the "Ouranos" (sky) gang.

On [[December 15]], [[1955]], the gang set up an ambush against a British convoy near ancient Soloi. In the ensuing [[battle of Soloi]], Charalambos Mouskos was killed, becoming the first EOKA guerrila fighter to die in the struggle.
