The capture of Thoppigala Rock Fortress


The march that commenced in Mavil Aru last year ended last Wednesday with the capture of Thoppigala by the security forces, marking the end of a campaign to liberate the Eastern Province. Here the army’s elite Commandos ascended the cap shaped mountain, Baron’s Cap, to hoist the flag of the nation and that of their regiment (Pic by Ishara S. Kodikara)
