WW1 Caribbean Soldiers on the Western Front

I attended the WW1/WW2 seminar with Allan Wilmot at the library in Stratford last Saturday. It was informative, uplifting and wonderfully organised: thank you!
Many thanks for your help and for all the great work that is carried out by the Tony Cheeseman Foundation.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the 5th Annual Lecture WW1 Caribbean Soldiers on the western front. An event of which its contents should be placed on every school curriculum, in my humble opinion. The Knowledge of the participation that so many men of colour had, in the establishment of the British empire, in itself is empowering. To have amongst us a living testimony in the person of Allan Wilmot, of the tenacity it takes to come through aiding allying countries, who in turn somewhat seem to forget and scorn your presence among them is an example of the power of patience.

The relaxed atmosphere of the meeting was most welcoming and would allow most people to feel comfortable. Loved the poetry, please extend my gratitude for the sharing of personal experience in lyric. I attended with a friend who also enjoyed the time. On leaving (after picking up my free glossy magazine ). The celebration of Mr Wilmot’s life was an honour to witness, and having received his book , I later handed it to my father who did not put it down until he had read it in its entirety. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I would like to thank each and every member for their commitment and sacrifice to bringing such priceless, valuable information to the community, and offer whatever help I am able by the Creators Grace and Mercy to perfect the visions journey.
