HSS - The Queen Mary academic who uncovered inequalities in the way Britain commemorated its war dead


Michèle Barrett is Professor of Modern Literary and Cultural Theory at Queen Mary
Professor Barrett was also appointed to a special committee to probe the early history of the Imperial War Graves Commission (IWGC). The report, published in April 2021, found inequalities in the way the organisation commemorated the dead of the British Empire from the two world wars.
The IWGC’s work was defined by the principle of equality of treatment in death which meant that whatever an individual’s rank in social or military life, whatever their religion, they would be commemorated identically – with their name engraved either on a headstone over an identified grave or on a memorial to the missing. In Europe this aim was largely achieved but elsewhere the story was different. ....

A new report has found that as many as 350,000 soldiers who died fighting for the British Empire during World War I were not given proper recognition due to pervasive racism . 
An independent inquiry commissioned by the United Kingdom s Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) found that between 45,000 and 54,000 casualties, predominantly Indian, Egyptian, Somali and from East and West Africa, were commemorated unequally .
Another 116,000 casualties and as many as 350,000, predominantly from East Africa and Egypt, were not commemorated by name or possibly not at all. ....

Boris Johnson offers 'unreserved apology' to families of black and Asian soldiers denied gravestones


Boris Johnson has offered an unreserved apology to the families of black and Asian soldiers who died fighting for the British Empire but were denied gravestones.
The Prime Minister said he was deeply troubled by the failure to commemorate their deaths in the same way as their white comrades due to racism.
It came after a report by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) found that the deaths of many black and Asian troops during the First World War went unrecorded. Meanwhile white soldiers received headstones or had their names engraved on memorials.
In a statement, Mr Johnson said: I am deeply troubled by the findings of the special committee that not all of our war dead were commemorated with equal care and reverence. ....
