    How did the Dominion forces in WW2 regard themselves? We're all used to films and modern books portraying say the Australians as heroic farmers dragged into Britains perfidious wars (TM Mel Gibson) however would they genuinely have seen themselves as of a different nationality or more like coming from different counties wthin the same country?
    having spent some time with some suprisingly anglophilic Canadians a few years ago (mind you it was in Montreal so they may just have been clinging to their non-french minority identity) I wondered what opinion was at the time of the war, rather than in recent times where the dominions are clearly seperate nations.

    In 1982, when We went to war over the Falklands, The P M of N Z sent a message to Mrs. T. "What help do you want?"
