I believe the E in BEF and CEF was "Expeditionary" not "Enlistment"

You may be right, but a little politeness never goes amiss.

Do please point out which part of my comment was impolite.

It's just that you posted a comment correcting a mistake in the description on a cherished portrait of two war veterans; you did not bother to write anything about the portrait or the story or give me any sort of critique.
There certainly wasn't anything polite about your comment.

I think you are being very over-sensitive. I could have written "You're wrong. The E is for Expeditionary not Enlistment. Get your facts right". That would have been impolite.
But if you wish to perceive anyone correcting you as being impolite... well, I guess it makes you an artist.
