"It seems like the [French] kids are very curious. I suppose it was their first experience meeting people from other cultures." Each workshop covered a different heritage: Chinese labourers, Indian colonial troops, and French African colonial troops. Our attendees, who came from similar backgrounds from those depicted in the images, would listen to a short presentation from our team about the role these nationalities played in the war before seeing the images and getting to offer their own interpretations. The audience were asked to consider why the pictures were produced, who the intended audiences were, and how a modern perspective changes our interpretation of the image. When presented with the images sourced by our academic partner, Alison Fell from the University of Leeds, the responses from attendees often revealed details previously overlooked by those who did not share a common heritage with those depicted. In the Afro-Caribbean session for instance, a photograph taken in an African village was considered to look staged for a Western audience. And attendees of the Chinese workshop provided useful information on the clothing worn by labourers, which appeared to be a mixture of traditional Chinese and British, as well as comments on products crafted by the Chinese Labour Corps. In an image depicting a Chinese labourer next to a replica boat he had made, it was commented that "[h]e looks proud of it. It's bringing his culture to where he is working [on the Western Front]". Our workshops had over thirty participants who were brought in through ICOH's cooperation with our community partners HANA (Hull All Nations Alliance) and Open Doors Hull. Working with groups who shared a similar heritage with those depicted in the images helped change existing preconceptions and further our understanding of colonial troops and labourers’ experiences of serving on the Western Front.
