However, while still connected to Empire, a high proportion of Australians for the population fought in the two world wars, as you know. British leadership in both is fiercely criticised and really led to separation from British command by early 1940's. Of course there are other alliances and interests. Historically, for WW11 in Europe, it's very interesting to consider that the Netherlands is very highly regarded here for fierce resistance against the invaders. Frankly the French are much less so. Still, more importantly, we might all hope that such monstrous and appalling conflicts should never be seen again. Anyway, thanks again for posting those glimpses.
