1959 1996 Bosnia Cleansing Deployment Dragoon Guards Operation Photograph Resolute December
EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in 1996, provides a haunting and poignant glimpse into the ethnic cleansing that took place during the Bosnian War. The image is one of sixty photographs documenting the deployment of the 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards in Bosnia as part of Operation RESOLUTE for the Implementation Force (IFOR). The Dragoon Guards were tasked with maintaining peace and security in the war-torn region, and this photograph offers a stark reminder of the devastation and destruction wrought by the conflict. The photograph shows a barren landscape, with the remnants of burned-out buildings and charred trees scattered across the terrain. The absence of people and livestock is a clear indication of the ethnic cleansing that had taken place, as entire communities were forcibly removed from their homes. The image is a powerful testament to the human cost of the conflict and the devastating impact of ethnic violence. The deployment of the 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards in Bosnia was a significant moment in the history of the British military. The soldiers played a crucial role in maintaining peace and security in the region, and their efforts helped pave the way for the eventual peace settlement. This photograph, along with the other fifty-nine in the series, offers a unique perspective on the events of that time and serves as a reminder of the importance of peacekeeping efforts in times of conflict.
