You seem to have a thing about the Brits. Their horrific loses in the Somme and Paschendaele and Gallipoli and others were sustained because of flawed tactics and poor leadership - not because of any lack of courage. They rightly remember and celebrate the salutary bravery of their men, as they should.

We "won" because they and the French held the line all by themselves on the Western Front against the Germans, while we waited for three and half years before we decided to weigh in.

No need to get snotty about the contributions of the English.

Thank you;)

Hatred for the English correlates to incompetence with the language; grammar, spelling, factual errors, bias and jealousy. If Anglophobes are so smart, perhaps they should use a language other than English. It might help;)

not because of any lack of courage

It could have been that they were more afraid of their officers than the enemy. At least the French troops had the courage to mutiny in 1917 (units of 49 divisions participated) forcing a change in tactics.

senseless slaughter is not to be honored
