// How many British soldiers died in the Vietnam War?//
nil
Harold wilson famously refused to send ANY troops to Vietnam and incurred Johnson's dislike and his disinclination to relieve WIlsons embarrassment over the usual spend spend spend Labour policies. But he still said no - this did not prevent 2 large anti vietnam war marches in London in the late sixties
so years ago when you went froo Ho Chi Minh airport ( post liberation that is ! ) the figure next to - nos of troops sent to Viet was Nil,
yeah they had a placard wivvit on.
but you say were there any Brits serving with other forces? doubtless - but I dont think the viets found out
As for Brits involved in the re establishment of the French Empire in Indochina 1945- in the end they re-armed the defeated enemy - yup the Japanese - ooer that must have been interesting !
