Perspectives14: Invisible?

The role of black troops from British colonies in the First World War has long been neglected by historians, yet the story of black soldiers enlisting in the United Kingdom is even less known. Historian Dr. Ray Costello explores the stories of some of the forgotten British-born black soldiers who played their part in the First World War.

Perspectives14 is a series of monthly talks and discussions led by artists, historians and subject specialists at IWM North to mark the First World War Centenary.
