Soldiers on rifle drill. Gun crews practice with a machine gun. Bayonet practice. Signallers with flags, heliograph and shutter contraption. Several shots of men doing traditional dance (war dance?). Guard presents arms on parade; soldiers march along, some play the bagpipes.

      Both of you are incorrect on both accounts. The Polish pilots while RAF, weren't spritually fighting for Britain they were fighting to restore Poland, Britain, despite sheltering them owes them no more than what Poland owes Britain for war supplies, accomdating polish military etc.
      India was given a great deal of importance to Churchill and Indians and Africans left the war with medals and honours like any other soldier. Lastly India was not betrayed but in fact the oposite, India's independence followed their sacrifice for the war. So everything worked out as intended.
      Also, please find me the average British soldier that was actually treated well after the war, you would find not many.

    One of the biggest contributions of Britain was modernization of Indian (India&Pakistan) Army. Loss of Indian army was also one of the biggest losses of the empire.

Their ration and clothing were supplied by Indian businesses.Their barracks and Bangalows were built by Indian masons. So Indians were indirect beneficiaries of any profiteering activity of British Raj.
