In times of war many people are sent to the front line, often without the necessary tools or equipment. When it comes to the victory days and praise some are no where to be seen, yes, missing from the headlines or even the fine print.

Many Caribbean men and women left the warmth of their shores, mostly with the thought of helping to support or defend Britain during WW1 & WW2. For the most recent, WW2, they arrived in Britain, often with the inner feeling of joy of setting foot on ‘Mother Country’ the promise land.

Some were lumber jacks in Scotland, others were engineers, tradesmen of some sort, but many were military who donned the Kings’s uniform or whatever clothing that enable them to carry out their duties.

Bermudians served in the British armed forces during both World War I and World War II. After the latter, Major-General Glyn Charles Anglim Gilbert, Bermuda's highest-ranking soldier, was instrumental in developing the Bermuda Regiment. A number of other Bermudians and their descendants had preceded him into senior ranks, including Bahamian-born Admiral Lord Gambier, and Bermudian-born Royal Marines Brigadier Harvey. When promoted to Brigadier at age 39, following his wounding at the Anzio landings, Harvey became the youngest-ever Royal Marine Brigadier. The Cenotaph in front of the Cabinet Building (in Hamilton) was erected in tribute to Bermuda's Great War dead (the tribute was later extended to Bermuda's Second World War dead) and is the site of the annual Remembrance Day commemoration.
