  1. Welshman were elite troops, they've never been used as cannonfodder. Indeed due to having a small army generally the British have basically never used their own troops as connonfodder (at least until the telephone meant it could be the politicians calling the shots instead of the military), they did like to pay and supply other countries to use their own armies as it however (or not, who cares as long as they tie down the enemy long enough to nick all of their colonies). The closest thing really is the Australians, excellent soldiers but absolutely awful to deal with behind the lines (they stole like gypsies, got drunk and would beat up anyone including each other and would sexually assault civilian women, the local population would become very hostile as a result) so commanders tended to try and keep them in action as much as possible, and limit the rest time so they couldn't get up to too much trouble, they were involved in the occupation of Japan and some of their officers were kind enough to leave considerable documentation condemning them and recording their atrocities, the French civilians also loathed them in WW1 and they got into trouble basically anywhere they were posted by pissing off the locals. Most other troops were fine however, even if some Irish units had a long tradition misinterpreting private property laws the British army had a long tradition of hanging thieves (the problem with the Australians was largely that since the Boer war they were prosecuted for crimes by their own country, and typically let off Scot free where even their own officers were of the mind to shoot them).
