   U.S. forces sent to Britain in 1943 expected to export racial segregation. When white MPs insisted that a local pub segregate, the owner replied he would. When MPs returned next day, they were met with “Blacks Only” signs & British barmaids telling white soldiers to wait their turn when they assumed they would be served before black soldiers. This set the stage for the epic Battle of Bamber Bridge.
