In
December 1960, things turned nasty at Kineton Village Hall in
Warwickshire. The Scouts Christmas
Carnival Dance was invaded by a bunch of lairy soldiers from a nearby army camp
at 11.25pm, and all hell let loose.
Girls screamed as a Scoutmaster from Hampton Lucy got his nose broken
and the local bobby also got a punch on the hooter. He sent for 10
reinforcements from Leamington and Warwick, although by the time they rolled up
things had calmed down a bit. One of the windows of the village hall was smashed,
and several chairs with one chair leg being used as a weapon.
A
dozen soldiers were taken into military custody.
