United Kingdom in World War II
At the time of World War II the "United Kingdom" comprised the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Irish Free State gained independence in 1922, and in 1937 became fully independent as the Republic of Ireland. Individual citizens of Ireland fought in World War II, but Ireland was officially neutral.

Note: This is a roll up level category and should not have individual profiles. Profiles should be assigned to the branch of service when possible.
