TOUGH guys from East Lancashire have arrived in Bosnia on a six-month tour of the civil war hell-hole.
Soldiers from the Queen's Lancashire Regiment are on a mission to help the massive effort to restore peace to the battered country. They will be based in an area known as The Anvil which is believed to be peppered with mines.

The regiment is taking over from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, whose Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Trevor Minter handed over to his colleague Lieutenant Colonel Grahame Flood.
