British soldiers take over the guarding of Iraqi prisoners of war from the US Army; the POWs are given sachets of dried "compo" rations and are instructed in how to reconstitute them with water. British and Iraqi officers take tea together. Soldier patrols road on motorcycle. Soldiers in machine gun position dug into the sand. Shot of gun barrel pointing towards horizon: in middle distance, a train of camels walks past, in the far distance, well heads burn. ------------------------------------------------------ ARMY MOBILE NEWS TEAM SHOTLIST (The following data has been copied, without amendment, from Army Mobile News Team computer files.) 06-00-00-00 Tone & Bars 06-00-30-00 GVs vehicles moving (oil fires in BG) 06-01-48-13 GVs Iraqi POWs 06-02-24-00 UK / US officers discussing POW handover 06-04-27-10 GVs captured enemy weapons 06-13-43-00 Handing out rations to POWs 06-16-44-14 IV WO2 Tony Murphy 06-20-06-14 GVs soldiers demonstrate use of rations to POWs 06-20-06-14 GVs soldier demonstrates to POWs use of rations 06-25-06-05 POWs being brought out of hiding 06-27-36-17 UK / Iraqi officers enjoying tea together 06-31-01-20 GVs troops dug in positions 06-33-25-07 Gun Barrel to camel pull focus (oil installation fire in BG) 06-34-20-00 End
