Did any UK nationals fight in the Vietnam war?

Answer 1

Officially only Australian and New Zealanders fought in Vietnam, NOT men from Great Britain.

^^^ Wrong

British troops did not fight alongside the American's in the Vietnam War.

However, British troops were stationed in South Vietnam on the 13th September 1945. They were charged with restoring French rule over Vietnam. They released French Military units previously arrested by the Japanese, maintained order and were to a drawn into clashes against the Viet Minh in Southern Vietnam. The French may not have been able to establish a foothold in Southern Vietnam and force the Viet Minh out of Saigon without British assistance.

Not so much fighting but more restoring order

Answer 2

Any British men fighting in Vietnam either enlisted (as the Canadians did) in the US, Australian, or New Zealand militaries. Great Britain itself, stayed out of the war.
