On the UNIT website in the mid-2000s, a picture of a female UNIT soldier accompanied the history of the organisation. She was blonde, wearing her hair in a ponytail, and she wore an earring. (PROSE: UNIT History: Fighting the unknown)
Behind the scenes
- The image of the UNIT soldier actually originates from 1999 BBC television 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 Vitez, Bosnia, during the Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing, focused particularily on the psychological trauma inflcited upon the British UN peacekeepers, 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. 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.
