"was bound" was there a treaty (there was, Locarno but was there verbage guaranteeing this by England?) or just speculation on your part? Locarno did not apply to the Brits. As to the link, I am well versed on their heroic deeds and contributions, but I think they had a vested interest (revenge) other than dying for queen & country.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
