881 Signal Squadron - Chowl Zari Team photo (11)

(88 Signal Regiment related photo): On one occasion during a monitor visit, an Iranian and Iraqi soldier where sharing the same trench. As the UNMO investigated the situation, it became clear that during the night, the Iraqi forces traversed beyond the Iranian trenches by 100 feet and began to dig in. Luckily no shots were fired during this event however the Iranian soldiers were then directed to jump into the same trench the Iraqi soldier just dug out. Hence, both soldiers pointing their weapons at each other in very close quarters.
