Cold War Guide: US Troops' British Etiquette
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
A 1955 guidebook for American troops in Britain during the Cold War, now on display at a former US Air Force base, offers insights into quirky British ways. The guidebook warns GIs about driving on the left, warm beer, and the sacred pub. It praises British bobbies, urges respect for pre-decimal money, and advises on language differences. The guidebook reminds us of the small differences that once loomed large, helping troops blend in and build bridges across the pond.
