Dont forget the scots. regarded as the best by the british.
i believe the brits could of been great shock troops. but since eg. aussies and scots were used as cannon fodder they had more of a chance to shine over brits. im guessing this also involves the Canadians aswell ,were they used as cannon fodder like the aussies/Nz
id like the shy away from saying whos best country etc. i think ^ that sums up it nicely why certain countries were regarded as. "better".

British Royal Family is of German descent - Hannovarian. They were only briefly Scottish during the Stuart period.
