Strangers In A Strange Land: The World War One Chinese Labour Corps, their place in history, their place on the stage.

The long buried story of the approximately 140,000 Chinese labourers who lent vital assistance to the allied Great War effort is only now beginning to emerge.

These mainly poor, uneducated and illiterate peasants are very much the “forgotten of the forgotten”. Yet, ironically their role in the history of China,and its relationship with the Western world, is undeniably significant.
