British Troops Prepare To Leave Basra

BASRA, IRAQ - FEBRUARY 11: A lorry follows soldiers with 1 Logistic Support Regiment as they lead the night convoy from the main British base at Basra Airport to Kuwait on February 11 2009, Iraq. The soldiers act as force protection for the giant convoy that consist of 100s of articulated lorries which often stretch for several miles and leave the base every few days carrying military equipment, ranging from plasma televisions and camp beds to portable buildings and Challenger 2 tanks. The convoys, which were regularly attacked by insurgents and still remain a target, are set to continue through to the summer as British troops prepare to leave Iraq.
