"In coming up with subject matter to best artistically record images that I saw in Bosnia, I looked for common everyday things. Things that the troops would remember twenty years from now. One of the things I saw that I know will impress me the rest of my life, was the presence of minefields—many minefields." Col. Gary N. "Butch" Cassidy.

This assemblage; painting, engineer stake, barbed wire, and Mine sign can in no way show the vast amount of denied area that exists in Bosnia. The fields once plowed by farmers have turned to weeds and a killing ground.

Col. Cassidy said, " The advice the troops pass along is as simple as it is wise: Stay on the hardtop and if you didn’t drop it, don’t pick it up."

A staging base in Taszar, Hungry, used to complete preparations before entering Bosnia, and the last stop before leaving Bosnia —lots of troops, lots of tens, not much to do.

Sentry at "Mud" McGovern is dedicated to all the troops that have pulled duty in a lonely place far from home. Camp McGovern, located on a gently rolling plane outside of the town of Brcko, is surrounded by minefields. There is only one safe route in and out.

The Command Sergeant Major at Butmir, outside of Sarajevo, relays by cell phone to the logistics major what supplies are needed by the troops. Butmir is a staging base where supplies and equipment are received, sorted, assembled, and repacked for distribution by the multi-national force to the troops.

This drawing of LTC Ed Magdizak, an accomplished photographer, proved to be an invaluable resource to Col. Cassidy during his first visit to Bosnia. The ever-present minefield warnings were a constant reminder of how dangerous a peacekeeping mission can be.

The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand on 28 June 1914 on this bridge, set off a series of events leading to lead to World War I. The bridge is located in Sarajevo over the Miljacka River. U.S. Army Peacekeepers crossed this bridge everyday.

The original bridge at Mostar, Bosnia, built in the fifteenth century was destroyed during the four year Bosnian war. The bridge built over the Neretva River became a casualty of the war.

Col. Cassidy did the first drawing for an art class in 1979. For the Bosnia Art Project he hung up his Load Bearing Equipment (LBE), helmet, and 9mm pistol and created a drawing similar to the one nineteen years earlier, but with 1990s LBE.
