Additional Information

British PSYOP leaflet used on Operation Bracken when the Black Watch controversially deployed north from Basra in November 2004. Black Watch Captain Tim Petransky is shown on the front, talking to an Iraqi boy and girl. The girl was interested in the Captain's watchstrap which was in the Regimental tartan pattern. On the reverse Arabic text says that the British are there to keep the peace and mean no harm to the Iraqi population.
The Scottish tartan was emphasised on the borders of the leaflets to distance the Black Watch from the US troops by giving the message that the Scottish were very similar to the Arabs in that they lived in a clan type society.
The leaflet is believed to be a handout rather than air-dropped.
