Battle of Shakhovka

The Battle of Shakhovka took place during the Yugoslav Wars. It was an engagement between British forces and the Serbian Army and Police forces. Having heard reports that the town of Shahkovka had fallen to the Serbs, infantry from 2 PARA set out with two objectives:
 * Protect the civilians in the town who were at risk of being massacred by the Serbian troops
 * Capture General Perisic who was en-route to the area with a view to orchestrating the potential massacre
