From 30th November until 2nd December Bob led a delegation of MPs to Bosnia with the primary purpose of visiting Srebrenica where over 8,000 men and boys were massacred by the Bosnian Serb Army in July 1995. The trip was organised by the charity 'Remembering Srebrenica'. Bob was the British United Nations Commander in Bosnia from 1992 - 93 and it was his troops who had first penetrated to the besieged town of Srebrenica in March 1993. His soldiers managed to evacuate up to 2,000 people from the place before he was ordered to withdraw. His place was taken first by Canadian soldiers and then a Dutch Battalion which played mute witness to the massacre in July 1995. Bob was accompanied by Claire, his wife, who in 1992 - 93 was a delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Balkans. The photograph above shows the delegation with the some of the survivors from the massacre and also mothers who lost husbands and sons.
