Administrative / biographical background

The main focus of the ?We Were There? exhibition is on people rather than events. It celebrates personal commitment and professionalism regardless of religion, race, gender or social background.

The exhibition was first presented to the public in November 2000. It has been welcomed for making a significant statement about the contribution of Britain?s ethnic minority communities to UK defence over the last 250 years. It has also helped to promote better understanding between communities by showing how men and women from Africa, Asia, the West Indies and other Commonwealth countries fought and served alongside British forces during many major conflicts.
