In the UK a crib is a smaller cot for newborns. And what you call a cot looks like a stretcher with trampoline legs, I haven't ever seen one of these to hear what Brits call them.
I think that's called a camp bed.
So really, it presents as gayer than a regular bed and the whole endeavour was counterproductive.
I guess what’s called a ‘crib’ in the UK is what we’d call a ‘bassinet’ in the US?
Surely there is a name for it in Brittain since their soldiers probably use something similar.
Probably, but I'm not/don't interact often with soldiers, so I don't know
