Great photos Erwin! Is that Banja Luka Metal Factory where your standing by the HMMWV? Well spotted. I was stationed there. The office in the background was my working place. I was driver for a Canadian female liaison officer in the first half. Later I swapped with another Dutch soldier and became driver for the section 5 (CIMIC= Civil and MIlitary Cooperation). This section liased between NGOs and national aid programmes and the military. All in MND-SW (Multi National Division - South West).

We ended or started many of our patrols there when we operated in Serbska during my time there...

Okay, so that was quite some time after I was there... No chance we could have crossed our paths...

SFOR (our biggest contribution with 22.660 people) had ended by then. The follow up mission (EUFOR) had a max of 530 men and women. I don't know how big the contribution to the HQ on the BLMF was at that time..
