Operation Insanity: The Battle to Save Gorazde | TEA & MEDALS

In early 1995 Bosnian Muslims were trapped in three enclaves by Bosnian Serb forces during the war in Former Yugoslavia. Those in Srebrenica were massacred, as were many in nearby Zepa, in spite of the presence of UN Protection Force Troops. Those in Goražde survived, and this was attribute to the actions of 1st Bn Royal Welch Fusliers as part of the United Nations Protection Force.


Major Richard Westley commanded B Company, which engaged and stopped the advancing Serbs forces, a time that Richard would later dub 'Operation INSANITY' in the book he wrote.


The action of the unit during that deployment were later recognised with numerous awards of gallantry medals. Darren talks to Col(Retd) Richard Westley OBE MC about this little known time in Yugoslavian conflict.
