BRITISH BRAVERY

I enjoyed your recent piece on the Korean War, but it gave the impression that the only action there was by the Americans! You made no reference to the British troops who fought. I was doing my National Service at the time and we went from basic training in Catterick to our tank regiment in Germany, and then we were posted to Korea to join the fighting.

Thank you for your letter, John. You’re absolutely right to point out that the conflict in Korea was far more than just a war fought between the US, South and North Korea.
