Me too and I love the Brits (and Aussies). But their generalship really sucked in WW1 almost as bad as the French generalship. Frontal attacks into machine guns? Really? Millions of brave men died because of ignorant generals.
Opps post 57 was for you too.
Myth.
The idea of ‘lions led by donkeys’ is a myth. And one thankfully being challenged by a younger generation of historians.
Yes, mistakes were made.
But look at the real history and away from the myth, and you see, despite mistakes, the British generals were far more capable and inventive than the supposed history makes them out to be.
