As Christmas descended on Bosnia, US soldiers far from home
celebrated midnight mass on Christmas eve (24/12) at the US base
in Tuzla.
In the air bases' on Monday (25/12), cooks began work on the
mammoth task of preparing a traditional Christmas lunch for the
troops.
Among the other NATO troops in Bosnia, at the main British base at
the Zetra Olympic Stadium, soldiers were served a small bottle of
wine by their officers in keeping with Christmas tradition.
American and French troops based at Zetra were also invited to the
lunch, which featured a food fight among the more playful British
soldiers.
