Dominion Services under British control?

Posted by Tony C on Tue Dec 17, 2002 12:05:10 PM

Not strictly Warbird related but my interest is in those Countries that supported the RAF during WW2.

If I remember my history correctly, during WW1, all Dominion forces were placed under control of the British. I believe that this was also the case during the 2nd World War and also assume that the same was true during the interwar period.

My questions are
1. When did British control over Dominion countries (Canada, Austrialia etc) cease?
2. Were South African Forces classed as a Dominion?
3. Were the forces from Occupied Countries (Czech, Poland, Holland, France etc), treated as Dominion Countries or were they allowed to operate under the control of their own Governments in Exile.

TIA

Tony
