While patrolling the Iraq and Iran border as a reconnaissance unit, the Queen's Royal Lancers (QRL), have also been engaging with local Iraqi farmers and villagers in an attempt to build bonds and win hearts and minds. It seem they are getting a warm welcome.
Along the 175 kilometre stretch of the Iran/Iraq border that the QRL carry out their reconnaissance missions, they meet plenty of local people, many of whom are farmers or simple Bedouin folk, nomads like themselves.
