When the NHS was created in 1948

Following the destruction caused by the WWII and labour shortages in England

Thousands answered the call

it was critically important for hospitals to recruit staff from the Caribbean to work in the new NHS

The majority were recruited from the Caribbean Islands

In response to recruitment drives in the Caribbean, many people responded and arrived in this country to help the NHS establish itself

Nursing a Nation

An anthology of African and Caribbean contributions to Britain's health services

Memorial to Commonwealth Nurses From Africa and the Caribbean that served the NHS from 1948

We are grateful for the support of the NHS, Islington Council, our army of volunteers and not least the countless donors and crowdfunders who made this tribute a reality.

More than 2 million African and Caribbean Military Servicemen and Servicewomen

participated in WWI and WWII but have not been recognised for their contribution

The unveiling of this memorial is to correct this historical omission

and to ensure young people of African and Caribbean descent are aware

of the valuable input their forefathers had in the two world wars

The African & Caribbean War Memorial

We are grateful for the unwavering support of our trustees, sponsors, the army of volunteers and not least the countless donors and crowdfunders who made this memorial possible. Thank you
