Why are toast strips called soldiers?
Online Answer
Now as far as the "soldiers" go–if you're from the UK, there's no explanation needed, but for everyone else: when soft boiled eggs are served to little ones in Britain, the toast is cut into long strips which everyone calls "soldiers," apparently because they're so straight.

Egg and soldiers isn't all bad. Eggs are an excellent and compact source of nutrients, are relatively low in calories (75kcals each if boiled / poached) and contain very little saturated fat. Use wholemeal bread for the "soldiers" and resist the butter / spread - try marmite instead!.

I like a little salt sprinkled onto the egg, but others like it plain. Now, just use your soldier to dip into the soft yolk and eat them! Use a little spoon to eat the white part of the egg in the top part of the egg and to finish eating the egg once you've "dipped" the yolk.
