Abstract
This paper measures the prevalence of psychological symptoms in two British Infantry battalions, 36 months after being involved in peace keeping operations in the former Yugoslavia during November 1992-April 1993. Those deployed had a high level of post traumatic stress disorder (16%) compared to (9%) in the control group. However, there was a high level of probable psychiatric disorder in both the Bosnia and control group of around 25%. The possible explanations for these findings are discussed.Keywords
