Assignment Afghanistan: The Struggle For Salavat – Part 5

This is the final instalment of Legion Magazine’s series on the efforts of First Platoon, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, to win the hearts and minds of the villagers of Salavat, a community in the Panjwai district of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. All of First Platoon’s efforts over the last weeks have led to one more meeting with the local elders, wherein the villagers will reveal whether they have decided to co-operate with the Canadians or, instead, flee the area for the safety of somewhere without coalition forces.
