It no longer follows, per se, that where the UK goes so too does the Commonwealth.

And rightly so.

But I have to say that in the (impossible) event of a similar situation re-occuring I’d far rather be standing shoulder to shoulder with a Kiwi, Canuck or Aussie than their modern day European replacements.

(Disclaimer: This post is meant as a tribute to the Commonwealth troops of days gone by, not a political statement or a jibe at our fellow Europeans. I know many other Commonwealth countries were involved but to list them all would take too long on a working day morning – you are not forgotten either)
