    I raised this subject with a good few acquaintances, no-one had heard of it before, I wonder why? Not part of the desired history I suppose. Surely too, conscription into the armies was slavery too, and indeed in many cases with a very negative potential outcome. Africa and the Caribbean didn’t have armies in the 18th century, and during certain periods, young eg British men faced a very uncertain future. What village doesn’t have a war memorial with hundreds of the names of young men who died for the banker class, and elite resource plundering.

      I was once sceptical about the number of British dead in WW1. So, on the basis that my village was fairly typical then, I went and counted the number of names on our war memorial from WW1

      And then calculated the ratio of dead in the village, compared with the village population census just before WW1. And then applied that ratio to the total UK population in that same census

      Result was 900k dead, about the same as the official figure
