Can anyone enlighten me as to which part of the commonwealth the British 1Pt Corp hails from? They pop up as a reinforcement in London mid 1915 I think.

Ah yes, now I see. Quite surprised to see them represented in the game especially as part of the British Army. Thanks for that interesting bit of trivia Lascar [:)]

They're a bit over-rated as a full strength British corps IMO......http://www.worldwar1.com/france/portugal.htm

Interesting article SMK. Shows how poorly treated by their allies and poorly supported by their home government the Portugese Troops were.

While I have never actually seen one, I have read that the Portugese issued a helmet that looked like an O.D. version of the hats that Devo wore. They appear to have made their helmets out of corrugated steel.
