Important marching information 

Dear All, 
For some time now, many service personnel have approached me* regarding the lack of publicity and information of the contribution and sacrifice made by servicemen and women from the Caribbean and Africa. This is more evident on public parades. To address this, celebrate black history month, write our own history of event and educate the mis-informed we at...

We hope you can make it!

Cheers,
Vincent McBean*

Throughout my life in my homeland England I have felt that my history has been severely lacking. 



This has caused me to do something about it.



 So now we are bringing forward the BlackPoppyRose as a symbol of remembrance for African/Black people who wish to remember the history of our ancestors 100+ years ago during wars.
