The British Armed Forces accept citizens of all Commonwealth nations (whether a Dominion, or just in the Commonwealth of Nations), as well as citizens of nations who may no longer be in the Commonwealth, but were at the time of the individual's birth (for example, a citizen of Zimbabwe could join the Royal Army so long as they were born prior to Zimbabwe's withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Nations). So, your short answer would be yes.

2.) They had the most well - trained army and the strongest navy in the world at the time.

3.) They were well supplied with artillery, rations, gunpowder and firearms.

4.) Possessed the funds needed to fund their war effort (later they did not, leading to a loss in British support).

5) The British army had more weapons and ships than the Continental Army.

British Disadvantages

a. wolfe's loss on the cliff of Quebec b. Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity c. Amherst's fall at Louisburg d. Braddock's ambush near fort Duquesne ========================================================= Last time I checked, General Wolfe actually won the Battle of the Plains of Abraham at Quebec (although he died in the process). Furthermore, the Plains of Abraham were - and still are - in Quebec City, which is in the Province of Quebec, which is in Canada. As such, it is not 'on American soil.' Louisbourg (not Louisburg) was actually captured twice by the British from the French. Neither was a loss for the British, and there was not a third time. And furthermore, as above, Louisbourg was - and still is - on Cape Breton Island, which is part of the Province of Nova Scotia, which is in Canada. As such, it too is not 'on American soil.' I heartily recommend spending a day exploring the restored Fortress of Louisbourg. It's less than an hour south of Sydney, Nova Scotia.

The British army wore patches on the sleeve of their uniform that were called "formation patches". These patches would designate divisions or brigades. Swords was quite common to see on these patches. Some patches used spearheads, which resembled an arrow head. There was one patch that was a RED square with a Bow & Arrow, with the box bent ready to shoot the arrow. I have a photo of this patch but forgot what it represented; most likely a Anti-Aircraft unit based in UK. The British army also wore trade or qualification or speciality patches that designated a soldier was a bomb displosal member, for example. Here are two examples of formation patches that used an arrow. These may or may not have been worn in WW2. 54th Division - Coronet On Crossed Arrows on blue. 6th Anti-Aircraft Division - Red Arrow; White Target On Black These and many more patches can be seen on this site. http://www.kellybadge.co.uk/Stock/armbadge.htm Anti aircraft command had formation patch of a black arm drawing a black bow and arrow on a red square patch.

The answer to this question is and will always be biased. Your country will allways be the best.

America is one of the most well know and most reputable military forces in the world. But its not the best trained.

The UK is less equip but better trained.

For example a us marine is trained for 12 weeks.

A royal marine is trained for 32 weeks.

But if america attacked the united kingdom, or vice versa. I belive america would win... because of the man power

The Colonists had more motivation to win the Revolutionary War, so they had more reason to win; the British soldiers only fought because their king said they had to. Of course, the Colonists won, even though they had less soldiers with no experience and few supplies while the British had lots of soldiers, they were all experienced, and the king supplied them with food and water.
