Or rather it took the English rather long to figure out how to fight properly.
Only sort of true. The British Expeditionary Force we sent over to France at the beginning of the war were all Boer War veterans. We only had 80,000 of them to send over at the beginning of the war but they were great. The recruits sent over after that first wave were nowhere near as good, and it took a long time for them to improve. The original BEF was almost completely wiped out by the end of the war.

I think the all around famine under the German population had more to do with deteriorating morale then "communist propaganda" under German soldiers relocating from the eastern front.
