They surrendered without a fight.
A dozen Iraqi soldiers made their way through the trenches separating them from British troops and marched in with their hands up.
"They had heard firing and thought it was the start of the war," a British army source told England's Sunday Mirror newspaper.
The soldiers, paratroopers from the 16th Air Assault Brigade, were testing mortars and artillery last week in Kuwait, near the Iraq border, when they witnessed the premature surrender.
