Abstract
Cooperation between the armies of the British Empire slackened during the 1920s and the early 1930s. Still, some strands of collaboration remained, in spite of the growing autonomy of the dominions and India. Interchanges of officers continued, albeit in far fewer numbers. The dominions continued to send their best captains and majors to Camberley and Quetta, and, from 1927, the best of their colonels and brigadiers attended the Imperial Defence College. The Imperial General Staff remained in close contact with the general staffs of the dominion and Indian armies as well. They exchanged quarterly letters, in which they kept each other apprised of budgets, training, manning levels, and equipment development, among other things. These measures did not represent a huge investment, but they did what they were intended to do; they ensured that the dominion and Indian armies remained, as one Canadian general put it, ‘British through and through’.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
