Yes, the 'Britain stood alone' propaganda was and still is very offensive to their Allies. Look at the Order of Battle for Norway, Malaya & Singapore, Burma, Greece, Crete, North Africa, Dieppe, etc.

Even if we subtracted ground forces, the RAF contained a large number of foreigners and their ranks swelled steadily until 1945.
