Well, there is Ricardo which is an actual Englishman's last name, for what it's worth. Couldn't believe it at first when I read it.

Gases were used since 1915, and between 80 and 90% of the western front line was held by the French. Hence, and although I am not sure which were the targets of the first German gas attacks, it could make sense to stop referencing the BEF once in a while (which held about as much of the front line as the Belgians), even in memes...

The meme cleary is in English, it would be even more incorrect to imply the French said that. Even so, it's a meme

Yes, upon re-evaluating the situation it does seem that my comment was misplaced (or you might say, easily triggered).

I come to make amends, and also to rectify what I have coincidentally learnt about: The first gas attack was in fact against French colonial troops.

So well, I do also stand by my opinion that giving that much recognition to the British is a grand injustice, we could easily avoid.

Wow, didnt expect this reply this late, but great! And yes I agree we need to credit the French a bit more for their military history, despite "WW2 French bad and white flag"

Telling a memer he only won because he spammed the most, is like telling a bicyclist that he only won the race because he peddled the fastest
