Just the parts that had British troops murdering innocent Japanese, or German bystanders. Next stop the Battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar. All that deliberate targeting of French peasants going about their lawful (or awful) business.

The allegations, according to the link, are that British soldiers were involved in rape and torture. Unlike the crusades, this event is within living memory. I don't see why they shouldn't investigate.
Of course, the downside is that if this is true it isn't obvious what can actually be done to the perpetrators other than ensure they get a reputation as rapists and torturers. Hopefully in future when our soldiers are accused of such things we'll be more rigorous about investigating rather than leaving it for 60+ years.

If you didn't rape or torture anyone I think you'll be fine.

nope - that is why Simon Wiesenfeld and Klara Beate Y) could keep up Nazi hunting until their own deaths in the seventies
By the sixties - my dear Dad ( POW) said - "I know what was said to me but not where and when" - let alone by whom
In the trial of Ivan ( Jan ) Demjanjuk was identified by a witness X as Ivan the Terrible - "I wd remember him anywhere, eyes of a child meurderer" etc
and then X ( and the court ) was shown film of X in 1946 saying he had killed Ivan the Terrible wizz his bare hands the day after the war ended. X was unrepentant

" I don't see why they shouldn't investigate. "
Because this is clearly compensation orientated, why wait until most of the alleged perpetrators are dead? Well because that way they cannot defend themselves and it is easier to get compo.
This should be kicked into the long grass now it is an absolute disgrace. It's too late, all concentrations should be on current situations.
"If you didn't rape or torture anyone I think you'll be fine."
Well I would not put money on that. You dont have to be guilty to be accused as we have seen many times recently.
