Product Description
Book Description
The West India Regiments were formed in 1795 to assist England in its war against France in the Caribbean. A total of ten thousand men - mostly slaves - whose story is told for the first time. From their exploits in the Caribbean and Africa, to their disbandment in 1927, this book is a compassionate account of a little-known area of the British military. Illustrated.

Synopsis
In tracing the history of these regiments The Empty Sleeve also examines the way in which black soldiers, regardless of loyalty, devotion and duty and skill at arms, were never fully accepted in a white man's army.
