Every major currency abandoned the gold standard during the Great Depression. Britain was the first to do so.

I am not economically astute. Can you explain what staying on or not staying on the gold standard has to do with how the Depression affected a given country?

Analysis suggests that the countries which left the gold standard earliest recovered soonest.

Some countries, including France and Poland, remained on the gold standard until 1936.
