Soldier shoulders the blame

摘要

I've just read the book review of A Cold War: Front-line operations in Bosnia (August) and am writing to point out a mistake. The caption which accompanies the main photograph states that the picture shows a Light Infantry Battlegroup mission in March 1996 - it does not. I was part of that mission on Op Resolute and the unit pictured is the anti-tank platoon of 1st Battalion, The Queen's Lancashire Regiment- look at the regimental flash on the right shoulder on the right of the picture. We were a mechanised Saxon battalion (part of 1 Mechanised Brigade) and had deployed by Chinook as part of the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. - Name and address supplied.
