British soldiers, with their old-fashioned helmets, spring-powered PIAT antitank guns and veneration of heroic defeats, may have lost the propaganda war to be fair the cut of a British Army battledress blouse probably did that on Day One but their record speaks for itself: they may have started badly in France and the Far East but they were victorious in the North African desert, in Europe and in India and Burma where the "Forgotten Army" first held the Japanese and then inflicted at Imphal and Kohima the greatest loss to the Japanese on land.

They held back the might of the Panzers in Normandy, chased the Germans back into Holland and came within a whisker at Arnhem of circumventing the Siegfried Line, and won battle after battle against a fanatical defence on their way to final victory. British air-land cooperation formed the basis for future Allied tactical air operations; the Commandos were the blueprint for postwar special forces; the Parachute Regiment an elite unit second to none; and British artillery was probably the best in the world in 1945.
