The Paras in Iraq

For Operation Telic, the 2003 campaign in Iraq, the UK contributed a substantial force including 16 Air Assault Brigades, two parachute battalions, 1 and 3 Para. This photographic journey tells their story, from 3 Paras part in the invasion and operations in the Southern Oilfields and its successful entry into Basra, to 1 Para securing the British Embassy in Baghdad and its post-conflict role of maintaining security and re-establishing order in the Maysan Province.

Written by an ex-Para whose role as media escort with 3 Para Battle Group gave him the freedom to move around the battlefield, it is illustrated with more than 200 colour photographs and shows the reality of British forces in contemporary war, with insights into the Regiment’s equipment and operations.
