The "Evidence of Those Not Seen" exhibition honours the unwavering commitment and sacrifice of Veterans of African Descent and First Nation individuals. Some of these extraordinary men and women are recognised as among the most decorated for their service, while others demonstrated remarkable resilience by serving in the face of adversity—both from the countries they called home and the nations they fought for.
During both World Wars, millions from Commonwealth nations answered Britain’s call to arms. Many returned after the war, determined to help rebuild and shape the future of a country they proudly called “The Motherland.” Their contributions laid the foundation for the arrival of the Windrush generation, who played a pivotal role in reshaping Britain's cultural landscape.
