    Hms Amethyst.

    A broader question then...

    What was the most numerous anti tank weapon taken over to France by the BEF in the early days of ww2?

    A Two-Part question from Vietnam.

    Between 1965 and 1972, how many:-
    a) US Army personnel were Court-martialled for war crimes?
    b) US Marines were court-martialled for war crimes?

    Both charges relate to serious crimes against Vietnamese civilians.

    The three R.N Cruisers to chase the Graf Spee into Montevideo were: Achilles, Ajax and the Exeter.

    This happened on Dec 13/ 1939.
