It was to remind you colonials that we led the world. And let us all be reminded that it was France's fault that Britain lost her empire. Had France been given the ability to fight the Germans during World War I - we'd have still been the world power.

Remind us bloody colonials I like that. How many times during the last 100 years its been us so called Bloody Colonials and I am referring to Commonwealth Nations in this case who have come along and pulled your English Chestnuts out of the bloody fire. Your lot were good enough to use Commonwealth Troops but we are not good enough to be thanked for it and have to be reminded about the once powerful English Empire. Give me a ****ing break Plan hahaha. And one day you might be abled to invent a sporting event or game you could actually win

Wait now one second, England thanks the ANZACs for their contribution in both World Wars actually. And it wasn't just the ANZACs helping the British; I seem to remember them being British built Spitfires and Hurricanes over Australia.
