The Telegraph
reports that "The first British camp to be handed to the Iraqis was looted almost bare within days of the Army's departure....Most items that could be removed were taken, including air conditioning units, water filtration systems, chairs, bedding and kitchen utensils. When the commander of British forces in south-east Iraq, Brig James Everard, discussed the matter with the province's governor he was told that the camp had "largely gone"."
A pity that the Pongoes didn't do the job for them, and take some much-needed kit to EID.
