    The Battle of Bamber Bridge

    I'd never heard of this until today - I read about it somebody's FB page. Close to where I grew up, I think I've been to the pub where it happened.

    "US Armed Forces were still racially segregated, and the soldiers of 1511 Quartermaster Truck were almost entirely black, while all but one of the officers were white....the people of Bamber Bridge supported the black troops, and when American commanders demanded a colour bar in the town, all three pubs in the town reportedly posted "Black Troops Only" signs."
    😆

    I was only joking

      Neat story.

      BTW, British pubs are usually a lot of fun!
