Per the Survivor's Guide to the UK, you also have the 6th UK Division making contact with US forces on the Yalu then retreating all the way back to Hong Kong when nukes started being used in China.

The retreat back to Hong Kong doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense to me - that's a distance of thousands of miles. If the 6th Division was in contact with US forces wouldn't it make more sense for it to fall back into Korea with the Americans rather than strike out to Hong Kong on its own?
