I often wonder what that must have been like. The national solidarity that such an ordeal would engender. And while I may be completely wrong about this, it must have been nice to live in a country where, despite is caste social order, everybody / most everybody living there viewed each other as British. Not more or less British; just Bristish.

Up to 338,000 soldiers would’ve been killed/captured by the Germans and from what I remember reading, there wasn’t much of the British Army still in England.

I don't know that the Brits felt that warm and cozy about the Irish Catholics belonging.
