I am happy to see the Parliament Channel is supporting our shared history. Great Work Team!

Good to see the contribution by the Caribbean to get recognition and acknowledgement it's been long overdue.

Can't see why I'd be pumped to leave the Caribbean to go fight for some European country who can't even see why we deserve retribution. kmt.

Captain Walter George Raymond Hinchliffe DFC (10 June 1893 - 13 March 1928), also known as Hinch (the surname is often incorrectly given as Hinchcliffe) was a distinguished Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Air Force flying ace in World War I who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.[1][2][3][4] A pioneering military and civilian flying career was cut short when he attempted a treacherous flight across the Atlantic Ocean with Elsie Mackay[5] in a single engined Stinson Detroiter.[6]

They hide WW1 Caribbean soldiers interviews away ....i was lucky to work in an establishment ....that had an archives department .....and i got on with the person in the projection room ....and was able to get hold of a copy of Caribbean WW1 soldiers telling their storey on how they were kitted out ill-equipped in kharkey uniform leaving their country shipped to Europe, and most died of cold /pneumonia on their way to fight the Germans, it was so sad hearing their heartfelt storey !!!!

How come no one mentions The Royal West Indian Regiment that fought all over the Empire in the 1800's. The Hut Tax War in Sierra Leone. Many valour medals were awarded to men of colour. I know all about these feats but this is becoming a '' poor me '' attitude. Education is the answer, not blame
