Show Notes
During World War One Black officers in the British armed forces faced a system with prejudice at its core. We'll be highlighting the stories of three servicemen: David Louis Clemetson, George Bemand and Walter Tull, who were all at some point thought to be the first Black officer in the forces. Their stories in some ways run parallel but also highlight, how societies defined race and your personal identity, might not match.
