    It should be noted that these performer groups came from countries that were a part of the British Empire, not English, and the soldiers, including the senior officers, who built that empire came from all of the countries which made up Britain. The British Army Regiments which include those of England, Scotland, Ireland (as it then was) and Wales all won battle honours and gallantry medals fighting in countries of the empire.
