Dominion troops, risk, and wartime memory

Were Dominion and colonial troops put into more dangerous situations than British troops?

Not as a general rule; political consent and the need to show shared risk mattered, while later national memory can make the experience appear different.

The answer rejects a simple claim that Dominion troops were routinely assigned more dangerous tasks than British troops. Sending Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, and other forces into operations was politically sensitive, and Britain had to demonstrate shared risk. Different public memories can arise because a campaign was the defining operation for one national force while being one of many for another.
