Synopsis "The Walker Brothers And Their Legacy: Three Black Soldiers In World War One"

This book tells the story of three Black brothers who enlisted in the British West Indies Regiment and served King and Country in the First World War. It follows them from their birthplace in Barbados, via the colony of British Guiana, to the battlefields of Egypt and Palestine. Only two returned home. The book also tells of a daughter's search for the truth about the part her father and two uncles played in the war. This was truly a 'world war' but the role Black people played in it has often been ignored by the history books. This book seeks to play its part in redressing the balance. The author's search takes her from her birthplace in British Guiana, via a library in South London, to Seaford in Sussex and Marseilles in France where, ninety eight years after he died, she was able to visit the grave of her uncle. In telling the story of the three Walker brothers the book makes a unique contribution to the history of Black participation in the war
