I was just wondering people from England what do you consider the proper name for your country during WW2? Great Britain or England? Does it really bother you or even matter? I am trying to use the correct terms and not sure if it bothers anyone.  To my knowledge you were Great Britain during the vast British Empire days.  Part of the reason why I went with just putting England down was that I listed Canada and Australia also which a lot of historians would refer to the British Empire during that time period.
