Although one of my grandparents was a British subject at birth (born in Ireland in the late 1800’s) I don't know much about the British empire.However,if an Aussie,a Kenyan,a Canadian,a South African (white *or* black),a Fijian or a Kiwi fought bravely for the King/Queen that individual should be honored,rewarded and held in high esteem.

And yes by the time the PC illness further ravages the Western world it will be taught that blacks invented everything and whites are backwards racists worshiping and ancient tribal god of all that is unholy - greedy and wrong.

What a world that would accept this.
