AFricans and mixed race Remembered WW1

IN the midst off all the hype about remembering the men of the commonwealth in WW1 I hope no one forgets the men of mixed race who fought under General Smuts in Kenya and Tanganyika. Those men insisted on being included and fought not only in East Africa as the Cape Corps but also in Palestine and were later sent to restore order in Egypt when the dockers went on strike. After a hard fight and a blistering march they came singing into camp and the general commented, the only men who would come in singing after the time they have had are the Cape Corps.
They also fought at Tobruk in WW2.
I learned about these in the village of Pniel near Cape Town, a village that ignored Apartheid and got on with life.
With the Cape Corps in East Africa were unknown thousands of tribesmen who acted as bearers. While the dead of the whites and the Cape Corps are recorded, no one knows how many bearers were killed, died of fever, or were eaten by lions. They have no memorial and the unknown soldier is also for them.
I promised to write the story of the Cape Corps and have written the prologues but, to my shame I have not tackled the war on the Rufigi River.
