Gornji Vakuf/Uskoplje is a town and municipality in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, located between Bugojno, Prozor, Kupres, Novi Travnik and Konjic. It is under the administration of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

History

It was made infamous as one of the first towns to suffer from internal (Bosnian Muslim/Croat) fighting during the Bosnian wars in 1992 and - as a critical node - was vital for UNPROFOR to hold to enable UNHCR supplies to move into country. It was bravely held by B Company Group 1 CHESHIRE from the British Army at that time who lost LCpl Wayne Edwards to a snipers bullet during a crossfire in the centre of the town.
