Nine men lost for 1,000+ enemy KIA? Wow - I don't think I would compare that to WW2 levels; the Anglians look to have done even better than their previous battle records.

All-volunteer force, excellent training, and equipment improvements make a big difference, but I think the modern British troops still have the same drive and moxie of their grandfathers from WW2.

And while a million rounds might sound a lot, that is actually a much better round/kill ratio than either the UK or the US had in WW2.

nice tagline mate. For the Brits I guess it would be the Somme.
