UPDATE:

I received a PM from Richard White, who was in Helmand Province with the Royal Marines in 2006. He also sent a photo he had taken of the Bost Fort, which is one of my placemarks in this folder, and I was thrilled to get it! He was also kind enough to correct my location of the fort, which GE member bullsnose had done, also. It will show correctly when GE updates.

Richard's excellent photo - notice the reinforcement inside the arch compared with the pre-invasion photo from National Geographic:





I've gotten a big charge out of hearing from someone who was there - even better, he lived to tell about it.
