SIR - G Tasker says British troops have never walked from a conflict (T&A, January 12).
Here are a few: Palestine, Iraq, Aden, Suez, Korea, Kenya, Dunkirk, Singapore, Korea, plus a few beatings by Napoleon in Europe and the Zulus in South Africa.
Let's walk from Iraq before we have to run - again.
E Firth, Wellington Street, Wilsden
