Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Honestly what did you expect to be done? "Let's go fight chaps, but leave behind the best weapons. Yes I know they outnumber us thousands to one, but we should try and fight on their terms."
The British Army was legendarily small once you took out those regiments that were just heavily armed colonial police. All the guns were needed to counter the fact there were never many men, and quantity has a quality all of it's own as the saying goes.
