Regarding Cliff's ppoints and question. BASA could organise a conference or a
series of seminars on the lines of 'who do we think we are?' drawing out the
Black and Asian contribution to the World Wars.
There is still an awful lot of ignorance about this.
I have attached a link for a letter that I wrote to the Guardian recently about
their lack of coverage to the African theatre of war and the African and Asian
contribution in battles there.
