British Army

“The British Army has adopted the L351A1, a Mossberg 12‑gauge pump‑action with a box magazine, for counter‑drone use.”

“Almost 800 First and Second World War gravestones of Commonwealth soldiers were destroyed at Basra War Cemetery in the Iraqi desert.”

“80 thick slate panels inscribed with regimental crests and the names of the fallen were removed from the cemetery in 2003 over concerns about local vandalism.”

“nearly all were flattened into rubble within 18 months and used as fill material for a drainage ditch at a separate military installation.”
