EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image graces the front cover of The War Budget, a weekly publication that provided news and information to the British military during World War I. Dated January 17, 1916, the photograph features a black British soldier, his face beaming with a wide, cheerful grin. The soldier's uniform is adorned with the insignia of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, indicating his service in this esteemed regiment. The First World War saw over 1.5 million black soldiers from the British Empire serve, with significant numbers from the Caribbean. These soldiers, colloquially known as "Tommies," played a crucial role in the war effort, serving in various capacities, from laborers to combatants. Despite the hardships and challenges they faced, including discrimination and unequal treatment, these soldiers remained committed to the cause. Their contributions were essential, and their morale remained high, as evidenced by this soldier's jolly demeanor. The War Budget, which circulated among the troops, served as a vital connection to the home front, providing news, entertainment, and a sense of community. This image, with its depiction of a happy, grinning black British soldier, would have provided a much-needed boost to the morale of the soldiers who saw it. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the diversity and resilience of the British military during World War I and the important role that black soldiers played in the war effort. It also underscores the human side of the conflict, showcasing the individual experiences and emotions of those who served.
