UNIT soldier (UNIT History: Fighting the unknown): Difference between revisions

|only       = UNIT History: Fighting the unknown (short story)

On the [[UNIT website]] in the mid-[[2000s]], a picture of a '''female [[UNIT United Kingdom|UNIT]] soldier''' accompanied the history of [[UNIT|the organisation]]. She was [[blonde]], wearing her [[hair]] in a [[ponytail]], and she wore an [[earring]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[UNIT History: Fighting the unknown (short story)|UNIT History: Fighting the unknown]]'')

* The image of the UNIT soldier actually originates from [[1999 (releases)|1999]] BBC television series {{wi|Warriors (1999 TV series)|Warriors}}, where the pictured soldier was a multilingual [[UN]] [[peacekeeper]] called Minka, played by [[Sarajevo]] born actor Sheyla Shehovich.  

** ''Warriors'', a drama serial set in [[1993]] in {{w|Vitez}}, [[Bosnia]], during the {{w|Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing}}, focused particularily on the psychological trauma inflcited upon the British [[UN]] [[peacekeeper]]s, having to witness atrocities inflicted upon civilians while being mandated not to intervene. It may mean that the usage of the image from the series in the ''[[U.N.I.T. (fictional website)|U.N.I.T.]]'' implies that the events depicted in ''Warriors'' also takes place in the DWU, in some form. The images were edited to include the UNIT acronym on the soldiers' uniforms, a detail not present in the source material.
