Black Tommies is the first book entirely dedicated to the part played by soldiers of African descent in the British regular army during the First World War. This exciting book also explodes the myth of Second Lieutenant Walter Tull being the first, or only, black officer in the British Army and endeavours to give the narrative of black soldiers a firm basis for future scholars to build upon by tackling an area of British history previously ignored.
