"This was a continuation of the British Caribbean Experience: fighting with Britain during global wars, and during times of peace fighting British authorities for justice."
This week I am joined by author Colin Douglas discussing his book 'The Caribbean and the Second World War'. We discuss the long military history in the region and the various ways the Caribbean were a part of the global conflict. We discuss the Caribbean as an important geographical location for both Britain and the allies and Germany and the axis powers. But also consider Britain's military colour bar during this time.
Colin will be in conversation with Dr Kesewa John at Greenwich museum on 17th November 2024.
