Photo caption January 1997, Reuters – ‘Wearing protective clothing, Diana watched workers from a British-based de-mining organization, Halo Trust, clear some of the 5,000 mines found so far around Kuito, believed to be the most heavily mined city in the world. The minefields of Angola were the focus of worldwide attention when the Princess visited, beginning her work for the cause of banning land mines. She followed up her journey to Angola with a later visit to war-torn Bosnia, championing the anti-mine cause. The princess also visited the International Red Cross’ prosthetic center at Huambo, Angola, where several hundred mining victims have been fitted with artificial limbs and taught how to use them.’ — Words CNN news archives.
