About African and Caribbean War Memorial
- 🌟 Incredible monument curated by @dr jak beulah Nubian Jak for African and Caribbean soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our Commonwealth nation.
- 🌟 Featured on Channel 4 TV on Windrush 75 Day, showcasing its importance.
- 🌟 Unveiled in 2017, the memorial is a simple obelisk resting against a pyramid-shaped plinth, providing an understated and uncluttered tribute.
- 🌟 Located against a large brick wall with the faded “Bovril” ghost sign commemorating Afro-Caribbean contribution to the Allied Armed Forces in both World Wars.
- 🌟 The triangular motif is repeated in the nearby “Cherry Groce” memorial pavilion’s canopy and base.
- 💠Mixed opinions about being the first memorial solely dedicated to African and Caribbean soldiers in both World Wars; some are amazed that their contribution has been overlooked for so long.
- 💠Brixton Station is not far away, making it conveniently accessible.
