Chinese Labour Corps

The Chinese Labour Corps was recruited from 1916 to assist with Britain’s desire for an ever-growing requirement for manpower to carry out labouring tasks on the Western Front. By the end of the conflict nearly 100,000 Chinamen had enlisted and served in France and Flanders, and continued to serve well into 1920 helping to clear up the old battlefields and recover the dead.[1]
