I once had a copy of a USMC training manual which amongst many other things contained a history of the USMC complete with illustrations. It was all very gung-ho and exuded an air of superiority and I remember smiling to myself when I read the section on the Corps in Korea as above the annotation 'US Marines in Korea at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir' was a photograph which clearly showed members of 41 Independent Commando Royal Marines. They may have been wearing US uniforms but their berets and RM cap badges were clearly visible!
