tac,
Thank you very much for the thorough explanation as well as the lesson on use of the Queen's English (you too, Heinz, for the latter). I will proceed to my dictionary posthaste for the proper term for the movement of foreign troops into a country to free its citizens from a maniacal dictator. Perhaps newspaper accounts from about three years ago will give me a clue.
It sounds like gun ownership in the UK was not much easier in 1945 than today. My sympathies to all affected.
