Britons - to this day - never tire of telling us that the British Empire troops couldn't contest German troops on German soil till January 1945 because the empire could never come close to matching the manpower of the Third Reich .
Particularly as a successful offensive effort usually needs to outnumber the defenders three to one.
And if you only count the white population of the British Empire that is true (but even there, only narrowly so.)
But India alone - despite feeling badly mistreated by Britain - raised a volunteer army of six million.
New York picked up the stone its British builders (Fleming, Florey) had rejected and sent it out beyond the Golden Door to a war-darkened world tired , huddled and wretched. Thanking the five boroughs (and Long Island) for giving the small as well as the mighty 75 wonderful years of a safe, inexpensive , NATURAL antibiotic.
