Mr. MacDonald's fighting speech to Korea troops "IN DEFENCE OF BRITAIN"

Men of the first contingent of British ground forces for Korea.sail- ed from Hong Kong yesterday with the realisation that their battle in Korea will be in defence of their homeland as much as in defence of freedom in Asia.

They were told by Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, British Commissioner Gen- eral for South East Asia, that they will be fighting for Britain "as surely as if you were fighting on the fields of France or the beaches of Britain itself."

Battle-fit stalwarts of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the Mid- dlesex Regiment, many of whom have indeed fought on the fields of Franco, lined up for a shipboard departure message from Mr. Mac- Donald just prior to sailing on their "historic expedition." They sailed yesterday, the CBE, sent the following signal The Regimental Band of the Leicestershires played "You're in Argylls in the cruiser. Ceylon to Brigadier Coad:
