Anti-British Demonstrations in Tientsin, 1939

This picture from July 1939 is interesting – while Japanese anti-British demonstrations were a bit of a way of life in Shanghai and Tientsin after the war started in ’37, this picture shows the involvement in a demonstration of Chinese living within the Japanese concession (perhaps coerced, paid to attend?) and White Russian activists (probably in the pay of the Japanese or part of one of the various pro-fascist White Russian grouplets) – the slogan says “Knock Down Britain”. The primary gripe seems to be Britain’s support for Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalists against the Japanese. Quite what uniform the White Russian is wearing is somewhat lost on me?
