"A world fit for heroes to live in" was never adhered to by the British authorities - it was never intended to - it was a recruiting lie which appeared on recruiting literature -

Of course it wasn't!


"What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in." David Lloyd George (Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor) 1863-1945. Speech at Wolverhampton, Nov. 23, 1918, quoted in The Times, Nov. 25, 1918. (The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations" by Tony Augarde.)
