Union flag flies at half mast at British army base in southern Iraq.
A British union flag flies at half mast at the entrance to the Second Battalion Princess of Wales Royal Regiment camp at Shaiba, near Basra, southern Iraq, January 31, 2005. Up to 15 British military personnel were killed on January 30 when a giant transport plane crashed near Baghdad in what defence experts fear was a ground-to-air attack by insurgents.
