Jack Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Morocco division Given the fact that Britain did not segregate its forces and had a large and valued Indian army, one might have expected London to object to such a racist policy.

Ewok Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I great effort was made to ensure 'The Unknown Soldier' who lies in Westminster Abbey was 'White' as well. The bodies that were to be chosen from came from a part of the battlefield that had seen action early in the war, before 'Colonial' troops arrived in theatre. No racism here.........
