Canadian troops after being sent as shock troops into every battle by UK since World War I: YOU'RE VERY FUCKING WELCOME, MOTHER BRITAIN!
While watching the World War I channel in YouTube, some of the most competent generals and units are from the commonwealth. Canadian general Arthur Curry tend to be proven correct on how to fight the Germans and took more grounds, along with the Australians, than the British units did. But British generals tend to overlook the views of commonwealth officers because they don't want to take orders from "colonials".
