Spoiler
Australian ANZAC divisions were part of the British Army, so should stay that way in the list.
Australian New Zealand Army Corp...I don't see any British name there, we did a tonne as well, so we deserve it.

Hmm... Corps of what, I wonder? ::)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/II_ANZAC_Corps
ANZAC job = piss of the Poms.
And now it comes to derogatory nicknames for the British. A standard for somebody who can't think of a decent argument.
I hope you're not too blinded by Patriotism to see that the ANZAC was in fact, a part of the British Army.
And us 'Poms' did a hell of a lot more than the ANZAC, in both World Wars.

You sure as hell didn't help us in WWII, and Poms is a military name for the British, Yanks = Americans, Frogs = French, it's not an insult.

Those aren't military names.
I sure as hell know that frogs for french is a insult.
Those were just the names the soldiers gave to their enemies.

Most aren't insults, Yanks and Poms ISN'T a insult.

Skullz, G.I. would be a slang term for a military unit, but Yank, Nip, Ruskie, Frog, etc. aren't.

Come on now. None of this "my country is better than yours" stuff here please. You guys are better than that.

The ANZAC were part of the MEF, a British Army force. Same goes for the successor formations, I ANZAC and II ANZAC, they were corps that fell under the British Army. I'm sure most Australians know that.

The term Yankee (sometimes shortened to Yank) has several interrelated meanings, referring to people from the United States

People from the south, such as me, use the term to describe people up north. Some of us take offense.  ;)
