Brits in the Vietnam war

[Kaelic]

Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure I have read that there were about 60-70 medals issued with a SE Asia bar around the time of Vietnam?

Not very subtle if it is true hehe

A friend / drinking buddy of mine was a radioman with one of the SBS unites and he certainly did a vew trips into Vietnam in the early 70's with the rest of his regiment (correct term??)

He doesn't say much about it (and other places that, as he so tactfully puts it "was not officially visiting" ) other than a comment in passing if something comes up in conversation.

Which ties in with the recent-leader-of-a-UK-political-party rumour.

absolutely nothing to do with said recent-leder etc. Said mate has been expat for about 30 years, since his demob, so no uk political affiliations, and to my knowledge no association with the gent that I assume you mean.

It's the 'rest of his regiment' bit that ties in.

fair enough
