Unlike the other parts, Part V is mainly a series of photos with commentary.
He begins by mentioning a conversation with William Rigby, whose identical twin brother, John, was killed in June.

4 Rifles in Basra
4 Rifles came home from Basra, Iraq last weekend after a six month tour of duty. If you want to find out what they've been up to for the last few months, Michael Yon, an 'independent' American journalist has been embedded with them. He's currently writing up a series of dispatches. Part One is introductory, providing some background on British operations in and around Basra. Part Two describes the battalion's first mission during the tour on 21 May.
