infobox has forces of governments-in-exile but nothing like foreign mercenaries. Additionally, like the lead, the infobox should summarize information established in the article body, and I found no mention of British mercenaries. If it isn't significant enough to be anywhere in the article, then the information hasn't demonstrated notability for inclusion in the infobox, let alone the strong connection required for representation with a flag icon in the infobox. As the article currently stands, my opinion is strongly against a British flag in the infobox. –

wants to take this further, I would suggest that the nationality of these people and their exact status be established in the body of the article, assuming such can be cited to reliable sources for verification and noteworthiness. It's not easy to have meaningful discussion without doing that first.

The only source where that is indicated is Pérez Turrado, and without basing his affirmation in anything. López Urrutia, based on the National Archive, points out that in this naval action there were Chileans. (Historia de la Marina de Chile, page 148) The British historian Brian Vale also points out

All the commanders of the chilean squadron was British, and all the sailors British too. A little squadron do not have divisions (there was two groups of assault, both British). But the rules of the ships was British rules, the language used in the ships was english. Cochrane and the sailors do not

The British are part of that war faction, not a separate entity, fought as mercenaries for Chile. therefore, the separation you intend is incongruent. Also keep in mind that the Chilean Navy was composed of Chileans, Americans and, to a lesser extent, other nationalities and ethnic groups. Not only

In this instance, it seems to me that the volunteers were individually recruited into the Chilean Navy and not recruited as a unit. If Cochrane later singled out mostly-British (or anglophones) from the Chilean Navy to crew his ship, he's still drawing his forces from the Chilean Navy rather than

Most of the officers were British, not all. The crew was not British, was heterogeneous as there were Chileans, British, Americans and to a lesser extent other nationalities or ethnicities. The use of the English language is for practical reasons, but none of that changes the fact that they served
613:
Keep in mind that the British in the Chilean Navy do not form divisions or groups, they are individually hooked and integrated in the same way as the Chileans and other foreigners present in it. That is what Caminoderoma can not or does not want to understand. Making a separation is incongruous,

but that would be if there was something like a British marine detachment, not individual volunteers of British nationality. I feel that a British flag would actually lead to a misunderstanding that the British government was directly involved. In regard to the Invasion of Normandy article, its

In the invasion of Normandy, all the indicated countries are belligerents. The British are mercenaries who serve Chile, as well as the other foreigners who were in the Chilean Navy. The only belligerents here are Chile and the Spanish Monarchy. The infofox does not respond under the logic of

If that is done, and it can stand for a while without being challenged, then inclusion in the infobox might be revisited. At that point, if you need further help finding a consensus, I would suggest summarizing both sides of the dispute and bringing it to

Foreigners are few, because all where british combatants. No reason to delete it. -- 799:. But I will look to see the opinions, because it is a Naval combat and not terrestrial combat, and I will look for the information that may be missing, and include it in the article, to reach a consensus.

We have discussed this point previously. You change the consensus of the article with invents the data and original research. What you say is a totally false translation of books in Spanish. Cubit puts the numbers clear.
