An absolute true Story. Soldiers from 19 Bde deployed to the FARELF during the first half of 1970 on an Exercise called Bersatu Padu. We were given a few days R&R in Singapore and most from the Bde ended up in the Brit Club. In the Club at the same time were lots of US Military, both Navy and Marines, sometime during the wild party a US Marine demanded of a squaddie called Yorky Simpson, from the DLI, " When are you Limeys going to get involved in Vietnam" !!! Yorkie, without pausing, replied, not sure, I thing the VC are doing ok without us!!! The punch-up that followed was like the Wild West. To add to it Wrens, QA's and WAAF' s were dancing with US Sailors and were wearing the US Navy Hat. When the Shore Patrols arrived they battoned heads wearing the US Navy Hat. Result some UK Servicewomen with sore heads. By the way an Australian Battalion on its way back from Vietnam took part in Bersautu Padu as did a Kiwi Gun Bty on its way to Vietnam.
