The phrase "lions led by donkeys" was used to describe the British soldiers in World War I, suggesting that they were brave and capable (the lions) but poorly led by incompetent or out-of-touch leaders (the donkeys). It highlights the contrast between the courage of the soldiers on the battlefield and the perceived ineptitude of their commanders, particularly in the context of high casualties and ineffective strategies. This phrase reflects a broader criticism of military leadership during the war.
