British volunteers in an alternate WWI

This is pretty straightforward as a question: in a scenario where Britain is neutral in the First World War, do significant numbers of men join the armies of the Entente (France, Russia, etc.) as volunteers?

What are people's thoughts? There's a volunteer tradition - both of Britons joining foreign armies or venerating volunteers in other countries (Garibaldi is a good example of the latter) - in Britain, but I wonder if the fight against Germany would see a repeat of past trends. I tend towards believing there would have been, but I'm wondering what others think.

IMO no.
There could be some adventuring and/or bored sorts, but I'd not expect a stampede.
Oh yeah, I'm not saying we'd get hundreds of thousands. Maybe closer to the numbers that volunteered for the Spanish Civil War from Britain (still, could be higher, if not by much).

Why would there be?
Anti-German sentiment, increasingly militarised culture, disdain for a Liberal government that's do-nothing at best and illegitimate and revolutionary in nature at worst, and so on. I reckon it's well within the realm of possibility for a few thousand people to make a stand where the government wouldn't dare.
 
Looking at the American volunteers gives some insights into not just the why but the impacts. As a neutral it is at least embarrassing to have your citizens serving in a war on behalf of others. At most it is a provocative act that threatens your neutrality and draws you towards war. As far as I can tell the American volunteers were not overtly stopped but had neither support nor affection from the government. And as best I can see the numbers are in the hundreds or maybe thousands at best, a tear drop in this ocean of bodies heading for the grinder. As a neutral I suspect the British are at least similarly situated. If that neutrality is the result of Germany avoiding the invasion of Belgium I think you knock a lot of wind from the vilifying of Germany and you dampen the enthusiasm to fight. This war then looks less moralistic and more a pissing contest fueled by old jealousies and grudges. What I have never found is a discussion on volunteers to the CPs, I assume there was some, and in a morally less brightlined war it would be interesting to see the volunteers falling to each side, not because it does much to affect the war but rather on how they shape things after. Once the USA entered its volunteers at least get white washed as heroes, had she not, then would they be deemed fools or worse? And how do we treat the stories told by those who fought for the other side(s)? Hemingway found fame in his experiences In think in part because he fought on the winning side, what if the war has no winners and his side had instead "lost"? If I were to write a fictional story these might be some of the best characters to see the war through and place it into its future.
 
If Germany didn't invade Belgium, I think that most volunteers would have joined the Germans against the Russians rather than the French against the Germans. That is the impression I get from Brooke and Sorley's poems and Julian Grenfell 's letters anyhow. The French weren't greatly admired and the Russians viewed as a potential enemy.
