Thought I'd post this for interest. Its quite modern but perhaps some of you have an interest in the recent Balkan wars.
This patch was given to me by my uncle who did a tour in Bosnia in the early 90s with the UN forces. Wasn't pretty apparently as under their mandate they had to stand and watch while Serbian special forces men swigged Sliwovitz and shot dead women and children in front of them.
This patch was taken from such an outfit, known as the Black Legion (Legija translates to 'legion') which was apparently a very feared unit notorious for atrocities.
From what he told me, there was a lot that went on there that none of us heard about in the media. The patch is printed on very thin felt and has been torn from a uniform. Does anyone have insignia from this time that they could post?
