Spartan APC Lipa Checkpoint Route Triangle Tomislavgrad (Duvno) 1993

            Spartan APC of the Light Dragoons - "The Toon Army" - Squadron based at Tomislavgrad School.  Lipa Checkpoint controlled Route Triangle, the military route over the Vran Mountain from Tomislavgrad into Central Bosnia.  Previously a goat track, it was constructed by Royal Engineers to carry aid convoys "up-country" since the main, peacetime road was mined.  It was a hazardous route especially in the winter.  On this particular day it was closed to traffic because of heavy snowfalls, even the RE with their plant being unable to open it up.
Naturally the HVO (Croatian Defence Council, or Bosnian Croat Army) treated it as a personal Military Supply Route, sometimes closing it off to aid convoys to move their own equipment up and down.  On one occasion I was called out to speak with a drunken HVO soldier who, with his M80 a/tk launcher, had decided on his own initiative, to stop the Coldstream Guards R & R bus from proceeding.
