Would the British Army use Commonwealth Nations Units to help flesh out Divisions and Corps? The Reason I ask, is that the Canadian Army and Austrialian Army sent troops to Europe prior to the fighting in the Far East and Near East needed troops to be sent there as well...
How would they be used as Brigades (to round out a division) or Divisions (to round out Corps)? Or would they be a seperate command?

Dude, stop scaring me! I was about to write about commonwealth when I read the above.
ok, we wouldn't get any Canadians or ANZACs, they are independent nations with their own militaries who serve alongside the british.
However there are severaly countries who send men (and women) to the UK to serve directly in UK regiments. I live in the town of Bicester which is the garriosn town for the 23rd Pioneer regiment. A large percentage of these lads are Fijian with some carribean, St Lucian and african lads aswell as the usual mix of Brits.
I can imagine a stepped up program to recruit for these overseas countries would go alongside an expansion of the Uk forces.
