Just remember, this is the same country that sent WWI troops into battle with a standard issue of 20 rounds. Until well after the WWI, the army were treated as nothing more than glorified pikemen.

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!
