I'd disagree witht he Chinese student though. It was at the time a regional conflict that got folded into a much bigger one.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Pete.Pete.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06668389518826053090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-17625470661832948912016-03-02T18:33:26.028+00:002016-03-02T18:33:26.028+00:00Ken H,

It reminds me of a conversation I once had with a Chinese student, we were discussing World War Two uniforms, and he corrected me when I stated that british uniforms " at the start of the war in 1939" altered by the end.
