Summary: Activities at Basra Palace in the week leading up to the withdrawal of troops to Basra Air Station.
Description: I. Radio interview with three members of 1st Battalion the Irish Guards: Guardsman Phillips, Guardsman Johnson and Lance Corporal Potts. (None of them appear on screen: image is of a stone wall.)
II. Radio interview with Lance Corporal Winks and Private Vinters of 3rd Logistic Support Regiment, the Royal Logistic Corps. (None of them appear on screen: image is of a stone wall with a mop and a black bag.)
III. Interview with Colonel Patrick Sanders, CO of 4th Battalion the Rifles: he is standing by the lagoon, with the main palace in the background. (The interview is split in two, with the time code resetting at 00:26:36 and causing a freeze-frame.)

Soldiers stand by flagpole flying the Iraqi flag. [NB This is a very small scale ceremony with no spectators, and is possibly a rehearsal.]
