Britain’s colonial past has been the centre of intense debate over the past two years, with the Black Lives Matter movement – and the Windrush scandal exposing the terrible treatment of those who came to this country from the Caribbean after the war. And the contribution of troops from the Empire and Commonwealth who gave their service and sometimes sacrificed their lives.
