This programme is based on a film entitled Divided By Race - United in War and
Peace, produced by The-Latest.com.
During the Second World War, thousands of men and women from the Caribbean
colonies volunteered to come to Britain to join the fight against Hitler. They
risked their lives for King and Empire, but their contribution has largely been
forgotten.
In this programme, some of the last surviving Caribbean veterans tell their
extraordinary wartime stories: from torpedo attacks by German U-boats and the
RAF's blanket bombing of Germany to the culture shock of Britain's freezing
winters and war-torn landscapes. This brave sacrifice confronted the pioneers
from the Caribbean with a lifelong challenge - to be treated as equals by the
British government and the British people.
In testimony full of wit and charm, the veterans candidly reveal their
experiences as some of the only black people in wartime Britain. They remember
encounters with a curious British public and confrontation with the prejudices
of white American GIs stationed in Britain.
After the war, many veterans returned to the Caribbean where they discovered
jobs were scarce. Some came back to Britain to help rebuild its cities. They
settled down with jobs and homes, got married and began to integrate their rich
heritage into British culture. Now mostly in their 80s and 90s - the oldest is
104 - these pioneers from the Caribbean have helped transform Britain and
created an enduring multicultural legacy.
With vivid first-hand testimony, observational documentary and rare archive
footage, the programme gives a unique perspective on the Second World War and
the history of 20th-century Britain.
