Bosnia 1992–95 — Operation GRAPPLE, UNPROFOR & the British Army
Britain's Bosnia deployment placed soldiers inside a war where the UN's mandate, civilian protection, aid routes and armed confrontation constantly overlapped. This hub follows Operation GRAPPLE, the British contribution to UNPROFOR, convoy protection, central Bosnia, Goražde, the transition to NATO-led IFOR and the practical realities of operating between warring forces.
