Britain in Vietnam

[Rule of cool]

I have no doubt individual Brits went to Vietnam, they would have been on exchange postings with the US, Australia and NZ for starters. Also the FESR was fully integrated at the Brigade level so its likely the odd RAF transport plane went to Vietnam in support of the Anzac forces.

However that doesn't count, only openly sending units to the combat theatre counts.

Those rumours are probably a combination of £10 Poms, and the Cultivated Australian accent. An American might believe the latter was English.

I really could n't resist coming back with this image. But in fact having met my counterparts in the Australian and New Zealand Foreign Services their English was more cultivated than mine (not difficult) and they were fine friends and colleagues.
