Oct. 22, 1969 - British Paratroops Surrender to the children of Anguilla. Photo shows Military it is something of an anti-climax when the British paratrooper guarding the road to Anguilla's dirt-strip airport encounters nothing more sinister than the friendly children curious to have a good look at his automatic rifle. But the opportunities for friendship will be short lived for the paratroopers who are expected to be withdrawn next week if conditions permit
