ICOH, with the aid of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), organised a citywide project to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. The project aimed to unearth the stories of the brave sacrifices made by men from colonial countries in WWI. This project was designed to help members of Hull's ethnic communities to gain a deeper understanding about their shared heritage with the British community. It also served the reduce the social isolation of these ethnic communities and to help them acquire critical skills such as interpersonal communication and public speaking. After participating in the project, beneficiaries were invited to attend an exhibition detailing the findings of 'Unforgotten Soldiers', which gave our members the chance to enhance their sense of pride and self-confidence by talking with attendees and sharing the stories about the contribution their ethnic community made during WWI. Furthermore, the project aimed to raise public knowledge about this salient but widely unknown aspect of WWI history and to change British attitudes and/or behaviour towards immigrants and the resident ethnic communities by highlighting this shared heritage and reminding them of the decisive role colonial troops played during WWI. To accomplish the aims of the project, ICOH undertook a series of activities including: (1) organising an awareness building workshop for Hull's black and minority ethnic (BME) and migrant communities, (2) running an art exhibition for the general public, (3) uploading the project research onto the ICOH website and (4) launching an online gallery displaying rarely seen photographs of colonial troops in WWI. • Workshop • Exhibition • Online Photo Gallery
