Remembered mutiny at Muddy Fist and allied flags
An English Shanghai reminiscence recalls the 1954 Muddy Fist battle anniversary, when American and British flags were united against an enemy. It recounts imperialist camp locations, clashes with foreign residents, and casualties among Americans, Britons, and sailors, with details of the desperate, coordinated foreign response. It then shifts to a later note on aprons through 18th century fashion, noting changes in style and a Bath ball rule by Beau Nash.
