More details

The Caribbean and its descendents have been part of Britain’s fortune for centuries. The wealth generated from the colonies provided national means prior to the Industrial Revolution; In the First World War the West Indies Regiment comprised of Caribbean volunteers joined with Britain in time of war and the Caribbean community was present again for WW2, and after Caribbean immigrants answered the call to rebuild Britain’s labour, health and transportation services economy. A day of remembrance.
