Wrong again Nick. The British Commonwealth also had a major front in the Pacific Theater, mainly in India, Burma, New Guinea and other areas in South East Asia. The forces consisted of troops from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and India. Early on Canada lost a couple of thousand troops in the defense of Hong Kong. Both Australia and New Zealand were involved in the European and Middle East Theaters as well.
