Love & Romance plus Battle of Medak Pocket

This week, Kate has a prelude for Valentines Day coming up soon - it's love & romance in the Highlands. Plus, Paul has the story of the 1993 Battle of the Medak Pocket - Canada's largest military engagement since the Korean War. And it wasn't supposed to happen since it was a UN Peacekeeping Mission. The Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry was the unit assigned to monitor a ceasefire but ran into Croatian Forces determined to block their advance. When it was all over and the Canadians managed to advance into the Pocket they found a tragic scene of destruction and ethnic cleansing.
