‘Pervasive racism’ led to failure to commemorate black and Asian troops – report

April 21, 2021

“Pervasive racism” underpinned a failure to properly commemorate potentially hundreds of thousands of predominantly black and Asian service personnel who died fighting for the British Empire, an investigation has found.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) apologised after its investigation found that those individuals were not formally remembered in the same way as their white comrades.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace will give a statement to MPs on the findings on Thursday, when the report is formally published in full.
