Dear Ministry of Defence,
The fact is, as you well know, is that many of the British "highly
sophisticated" chemical attack alarms that were deployed across a
wide area right across the battlefield were triggered off during
this conflict as "chemical agent positively detected"
I should know as i was there!
I thought i would do you a favour and answer this important
question for you as you have made it perfectly obvious that the
M.O.D wish to duck the truthful answer to this question or have
something to hide.
Yours faithfully,
Alvin Pritchard.

The fact that you have stated that MOD records on this important subject matter are still not complete after some 20 years have passed is pathetic and unacceptable to say the least!
I refer you to my answer post of 22nd January 2010 where you will find a far more accurate answer to my original question.
The fact that you have tried to put a fly in my ear suggests that the MOD have something to hide on this matter.
Not complete indeed! ......... What a joke.
How many more years do you need to complete your findings? 10, 30,or maybe even 100 years?

The Khamisiya Ammunition Storage Facility was a site approximately 25 square kilometres in area and consisted of two sections: one of 88 warehouses; the other of 100 hardened concrete bunkers surrounded by an earth berm and security fencing.
In March 1991, combat engineers and Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) teams of the U.S. Army, conducted a demolition operation. The entire storage complex, containing massive quantities of munitions, was set to be destroyed. On 10 March 1991, all explosive charges were detonated, and witnesses stated that the resultant explosion yielded an impressive mushroom cloud. It has not been confirmed how this explosion affected Iraqi civilians in the area.
It was not known at the time, but destruction of ordnance at Khamisiya is thought to have consequently released nerve agents such as sarin and cyclosarin into the atmosphere. Computer-generated models based on atmospheric conditions project that clouds of nerve agents would have drifted south and reached allied troops. Records also show that Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) sensors monitoring the air soon reported traces of nerve agents. These NBC detection units were military units of several allied countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Poland.
