West Indian Soldier

 TUC LESE Race Relations Committee FREE invite to visit:

"Black History Education" Exhibition: West Indian Soldier @ National Army Museum - Royal Hospital Rd, London SW3 4HT 

 

Wednesday 6 October 2021 @ 4pm

Group visit - maximum twenty places available book now - lese@tuc.org.uk  

 

This exhibition, delivered in partnership with the West India Committee and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, highlights the little-known military heritage shared between the UK and the Caribbean. Encompassing more than 300 years of history, it tells the story of the recruitment and role of West Indian servicemen and women in the British Army, the experiences of British soldiers and officers in the Caribbean, and their combined service in various military campaigns.

The visit is compliant with current COVID restrictions. 

(I cannot make 6/10/21 but maybe we could organise a Newham visit to exhibition before it ends?)
