Commonwealth Troops in WW2

[Avicenna]

ANZAC. Also look for the Canadian troops (they're practically commonwealth, having just left the Empire and fighting with Britain anyway). There are also the Indian troops, who were important in Asia.

What are you talking about? Canada never left the commonwealth. We along with Britian, Austrailia, New Zealand, and South Africa FOUNDED the commonwealth. Read up on the statute of Westminister.

Now I don't remember exact details about Canadian units outside europe.

-1 brigade sent to Hong Kong in 1941. Called the Hong Kong brigade,
consisted of the Royal Rifles of Canada and the Winnepeg grenediers. Both were taken prisoner when Hong Kong fell.

-We breached the Gothic line in Italy. With our 1st infantry and 5th armoured divisions.
