this in bio. war. we suffered you're. just in close was one of several 100000 africans who fought for the british during world war 2 and one of the many who later felt abandoned to a life of poverty and neglect. you know what if my house loop. little. prince harry has come to zambia to pay his country's respects to its african veterans justin hopes his meeting with the prince will also raise awareness of his plight so you can try to. newport into cuckold mark so that you are on this of course he always is your good. readers and ourselves. for example given out there when we come back our love for work or anyone you never forget me because we thought i would give. a lot

in africa yet on the kenya front many different types of men are defending the british empire during the 2nd world war more than half a 1000000 african troops with the prince's army many deployed thousands of miles from home across the continent the middle east. it was part of the largest single movement of african women overseas since the slave trade. it would expose them to the horrors of past 2 in the deserts in the jungle cost many thousands of lives during the service person would also subject these men to systematic racism and prejudice and on their return they would suffer the indifference of an empire on which the sun was soon to set now with the number of britons african veterans when dealing fast there are callers to fully acknowledge those sacrifices and belatedly to make amends for that post-war neglect we should

be ashamed back from the scene for all country all they think all the time we have an opportunity and that twilight to get that right it's not too late. we did them when they don't run by. we're at the door do a door do a no go get that kind man yet but i don't know that god will go down by new d.n.i. now by new not but they're going to know more no woodward said i know you have a good background you would not go get that kind know whether he's a good guy doing good work work no good they're going to. go on the court i would do that. so wargrave cemetery near mount kenya you said b o n buki and gash an infant he have come to pay their respects to the $14.00 comrades both men fought for person during world war 2 facing death and hardship and battlefields

far from. who could have. did your phone number walking around in window going on be a little movie there and now if you're. never going to come again you will talk on uma way with the door uma also grandmother and i will go like that. as with many soldiers recruited from britain as colonies you said you have literally tear of what was a stake in this war. good men are good hard work hard to remain unemployed a greener it would run run run about the bungling idea i believe or others that. i don't know why i'm here like. all those. when it began in 1939 european powers had colonized most of africa person quickly put as many

african colonies on a war footing much as it had done in won't one some years before. yes at 1st officials would doubtful about the row so cool native african so which is might play in the conflicts somewhat even opposed to giving them mixing them with white soldiers reflecting the white spread prejudice of the time racism was pervasive in the 1930 s. and forty's it was perfectly acceptable to be a racist and polite western society. still look upon the words of rudyard kipling when you call people. devil and child timothy parsons is a historian and one of the roads leading authorities on the east african army he champions the rights of these cologne you're a soldier is and has dedicated his life to chronicling their lost history the imperial system was riddled with racism there were people who are unapologetic

despite earlier reservations it turned to a sex with economists launching an intense recruitment drive. i am more money. we're only 90 minute. go where i need out. there were. many africans were reluctant to enlist in this white man's war but britain had 3 key tactics to recruit them the 1st was presenting army life is economic opportunity another was propaganda. war that hitler wanted to seize their land land that of course had already been colonized by the purchase themselves through that new movie. but there we go where am. i going to go with regular. guy mabrouk to get there. there was a 3rd means of recruitment force officially conscription was ruled out and the lisp

was supposed to be entirely voluntary but desperate to raise numbers colonial officials would often pressure local chiefs and now it is to find the men and turn a blind eye to how they went about it. the way men were actually recruited was often that the chiefs would press in some cases they would press gang men who were out of favor men were definitely swept up into the combat units who were absolutely not tears greyson be thing a widow now living in the highlands near nairobi remembers how the chief's men snatched her husband from their village before he was sent off to north africa and . one year. where did i mangle all. gabble no wonder that we were not to momo know i run a man or not the way i view them in my local language. and are never

a young one i like where we are not quite doing what did i ever known going back to a. magical year then one night a new one no. although one of those who volunteered you 7 yo 2 faced miserable conditions in the forest and steep revelle ease of heavy rain tropical disease and stick jungle russians were in short supply. they learned from this good deed that about to become a compass would do a thing. as bad dr. told him not to be got to be a good boy by the libyan rebel guy leno either. in theory africa soldiers in prisons forces were subject to the same military discipline as all insult the troops however in reality there were some notable differences they were barred from becoming commissioned officers and from disciplining lower ranking

white soldiers mo disturbingly corporal punishment which the british army had officially outlawed for decades elsewhere was still used against african troops throughout world war say beatings when not uncommon. where when you are more no. idea. about. who didn't who are now what the idea. of yellow and man in. black not abit mean that will. have teasing eyes as you. they are not going to cause he wanted the media to avoid the world that. he was not one of britain's willing recruits he was sent to ethiopia and somaliland as a signalman relaying messages between units if you run even though the room here's
