Not giving Osman and Hibbert a second testimonial each. A flagrant breach of their human rights.

Dresden wasn't a war crime.

As for things that were, I would say Amritsar or the suppression of the Morant Bay revolt in Jamaica.

Bloody Sunday wasnt a war crime, it was merely self defence.

Not officially, but the victors are very rarely accused of such things I'm afraid.

Dresden had very little strategic value, yet was decimated. I think it was a war crime. Indeed, it was the sole unjustified action from British forces I can think of in that war - everything else at least had a logic behind it when set against what it was trying to achieve or at the very least a just cause for retaliation. Or in the case of British rape of German civilians in 1944/45, it's a very unfortunate thing that happens with every invading army to a new territory, so it isn't unique to Britain.
