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. |
So would the Canadians and ANZACS send their troops as full Brigdes or Divisions as their Expeditiationary Forces who'd be used as full commands of their own?
As i said earilier I was thinking of African Rifles being one of the units like the Brigade of Gurkhas being part of the Commonwealth of Nations personnel recruited for fleshing out the British Armed Forces.
Would it be easier for the biggest expansions of the British Army to have come through the Territorial Army units?
