GB. ENGLAND. London. Britains biggest anti-Vietnam war demonstration ended in London with an estimated 300 arrests; 86 people were treated for injuries, and 50, including 25 policemen, one with a serious spine injury, were taken to hospital. The Guardian suggested demonstrators seemed determined to stay until they had provoked a violent response of some sort, and this intention became paramount once they entered Grosvenor Square. 1968.
