Welcome
Author Erica Myers-Davis presents LCpl Johnson Beharry VC with a copy of Under One Flag
“I think this is one of the most important
books on World War II for the classroom as it shows what an amazing contribution that people of colour have made. ”
Lance Corporal Johnson
Beharry VC
Under One Flag tells the stories of the unsung heroes and heroines of World War II from across
the world. With personal forewords from Prince Harry and Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry VC, the first serving recipient of
the Victoria Cross since 1969, it emphasises the vital contribution made by those from the Commonwealth and British Empire
who volunteered during World War II.
“The stories
told in Under One Flag are rarely heard, but they should be. The immense courage
and selfless dedication of indigenous and ethnic peoples of what was then the British Empire deserve to be celebrated by us
today” Prince Harry
Post-war Britain has a widely diverse
ethnic population and children and adults alike can learn about the important part that their grandparents and others played
in the defence of Great Britain -all as volunteers- in the War.
Under One Flag features
a collection of case studies from Commonwealth veterans some of whom are alive today and whose inspiring stories are brought
to life with original photographs. These include the fascinating stories of the most decorated female servicewoman of WWII,
Nancy Grace Augusta Wake, Jemadar Nand Singh, India’s most decorated soldier and Major Neville Hogan MBE who fought
in two Burma Campaigns and was imprisoned by the Communist Party in Burma before escaping to England.
