Probably the Royal Marines. They are notorious for being unable to
navigate. They once landed in Spain instead of Gibraltar when on a
coastal patrol.
The difference is only a few yards, there are no signs saying 'you
are entering Spain' nor is there a demarcating fence at the place
they were practicing landing on a beach.
For a graphical comment on the incident at the time
