Gulf War, Iraqi Invasion, 1990

I still have pictures of the Diorama taking up a floor in a large room in Doha, quite impressive and with all positions/dug in tanks etc. facing seaward : )

Cheers David, Good memories of being among the first Brits into Kuwait City itself, I remember very well wandering around in thigh deep water with your Marines below the Kuwait Airport... the day after (in the same darkened network) something like 40 Iraqi's gave themselves up to Kuwait or Saudi Forces, they'd been hiding in the Air Vents and had heard the 'White' Allied Soldiers would eat them if they caught them!!!

Amazing what a bit of Propaganda can stir up!

I was with the 1st Cav myself, up under Baghdad when it all wrapped up. We had a number of Iraqi soldiers surrender to one of our remote three man teams. They said they almost freaked when they saw them all coming over the hill but it turned out all they wanted was food and water and a safe place to ride out the storm
