Irrationally

[Vinty]

There was never any hostilities between UK and Viet Minh

The estimated 2700 dead Viet Minh would beg to differ with your assertion.

The libraries aren't open where you are obviously.

40 British dead.

Casualties. For Britain's involvement in the First Vietnam War, the officially stated casualty list was 40 British and Indian soldiers killed and French and Japanese casualties a little higher. An estimated 2,700 Viet Minh were killed

My apologies, Vinty. It looks like you were correct. I've learnt something.
