EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) mission in Bosnia, circa 1994. The image shows a group of British troops, dressed in their military uniforms and armed, gathered in a courtyard in Vitez, Bosnia. The troops appear focused and determined, with their eyes fixed on the horizon as they prepare for their duties. UNPROFOR was established in 1992 to provide peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance in the wake of the Yugoslav Wars. The British Army contributed significantly to the mission, with thousands of soldiers deployed to various locations throughout Bosnia and Croatia. The troops were tasked with maintaining peace, protecting civilians, and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British soldiers serving with UNPROFOR in Bosnia. Despite the challenges and dangers they faced, they remained committed to their mission and worked tirelessly to bring stability and security to the region. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the British military and the United Nations in the name of peace and humanitarian aid. The photograph is one of fifteen color prints from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, documenting the British troops' service with UNPROFOR in Bosnia between 1992 and 1995. The collection provides a valuable historical record of this important chapter in international peacekeeping efforts and offers insights into the experiences of the soldiers who served during this time.
