    In the 70'S. We pulled into portsmouth for repairs.. my shipmates and I took.train to London in our dress blues crackerjacks.. we started walking in front of these men
    We stop. Snapped a salute to both guards.. he returned our salute with sword ... British Marines were behind us. They thanked us fotr the respect
    . Duty officer came out. Saw us chatting with marines. We saw him. As customary with NATO officers we saluted as well as marines.
    He was impressed with our respect to his guards.
    Couple hours later.. we were with the marines chatting with us. Making us feel welcomed. Officer came in. Put some money on.the bar. Ttold waitresd take the pints to our table.. we asked him to cover.. he was still in uniform. Marines told us. He cannot mingle with enlisted WHY,??? Who cares we thank them all. Believe it we were mostly sober. Showed us to correct train back to portsmouth.. great time

      True. How would tourists like it if we turned up at their place of work and started pawing them with dirty hands. Plenty out there never wash their hands. The horses react because they don't like the smell of tourists. I've never been down there for 54 years, people were more considerate then unlike today with all these self entitled Wokes roaming around doing what they want despite being warned not too. Law unto themselves that lot.

    I realize that during WW2, once the US join the war, and the British were faced with trying to learn all the different uniforms Americans arrived in as not only did they differe by branch of service but whether they were officers, non-commissioned officers, or troops, and even uniforms troops wore at the time could vary, then there were dress uniforms vs various other uniforms depending on duty or station and not only dud uniforms differ for climate and location, but also all of the above changed according to season, and often what determined when a unit changed from Summerton winter wear was dependent on their division leaders or their military branch and not happen according to when other branches or divisions changed.
    In top of that, while the US had been gearing up its military industry production for several years, at least to provide British and others before Pearl Harbor, since they were not building up a massive number of men they needed to dress, when the US declared war in both the Pacific and in Europe, and Reservists and Nationsl Guard were called up, there were basic field dress for all but other uniforms were in shorter supply leaving many Reservists and National Guard with uniforms that were out of date for active military.
    In top if that, often ceremonial or dress uniforms for even the lowest of rank were decorated to what appeared to many in the European theater to be that worn by much higher rank duevto decoration. Given that these were meant to be flashy and impressive as the main duty performed were marching in parades.
    This was exceptionally confusing, as one can guess, when to the British solder faced with a sea if confusing visuals with uniforms that signified many things but often not what tĥhe British thought it did. Of course they quickly learned then meaning of collar rank and insignia, often they were hard to see at a distance. Initially the British just started saluting anyone in a uniform they did not recognize. Maybe they still follow the same policy?
