Thanks to the hard work of Bill Hern we have recently been able to add two new pages to the ‘forgotten history’ section of this site.
A page on Charles Williams tells the story of the father of Yorkshire comedian. Charlie Williams.
While another new page recalls the life of Corporal Jacques M’Bondo whose remarkable life took him from landlocked Ouaka in what is now part of the Central African Republic to a hillside grave in County Durham, via Paris, Belgium, the killing fields of First World War Flanders and London.
Two fascinating stories that cast light on different aspects of Black British history..
