WW1 Chinese Labourers Not to be Forgotten

A new campaign is underway to remember the forgotten Chinese labourers who toiled during the First World War.
 
96,000 men worked for the British forces, digging trenches, recovering live ordnance and exhuming the dead.
 
Many gave their lives in service but they have been written out of the history books.
 
Now money is being raised for a memorial in their honour, to be sited in London.
