Can't disagree with the general thrust of your thread, I think we too have been lampooned by Hastings - I'd be surer if I bothered to read his books - but you should take care not to add to mythology.

The 1st and 2nd Australian Imperial Force (ie WW1 and WW2) were volunteers to a man/woman/person.
