3 None of Britain s 43,000 First World War Memorials includes any reference to the Chinese Labour Corps. Almost forgotten, it is now time to remember. 英国的 43,000 个第一次世界大战纪念碑丝毫没有提及中国勞工团队这些人几乎已被人遗忘, 现在是时候该纪念他们了 The contribution of these men has routinely been overlooked or relegated to a footnote in history.

4 我们打算如何改变历史 How we plan to change history Recognition of the Contribution of China and Chinese people That no UK memorial exists to these men is a great shame, and reflects the fact that the contribution that China and Chinese people made to Britain s war effort has all but been forgotten. 确认中国和中国人民的贡献英国没有纪念这些劳工的纪念碑简直是一种莫大的耻辱, 并反映出中国和中国人民在一战中对英国的帮助已被人遗忘的事实 1The Ensuring We Remember Campaign seeks to change history in the sense that those who were once forgotten will be remembered and commemorated. 一确保我们永记这个活动力求在某种意义上改变历史, 让我们牢记和纪念那些曾被遗忘的中国勞工团队 2We have planned a three year programme of grass roots community engagement to be supported by a one year national lecture tour aimed at the British Establishment. 我们规划了一个二三年的基层社区参与活动项目, 透过在英国各地举行为期一年的全国巡回讲座来予以支持

We will establish a fitting memorial to these men that will serve as a reminder for generations to come. 我们的抱负是三要超出了一战的百年纪念我们将为中国勞工团队建一座与之相衬的纪念碑, 用来提醒将来的世世代代 4As a community we intend to do this without recourse to the public purse, recognising that at this time of austerity, we need to draw on other resources to achieve our dreams. 作为华人社区, 四我们不打算使用公众资金来做这些事, 基于政府财政削减的考虑, 我们需要动用其他资源来实现我们的梦想

6 An Arduous Journey The sinking by a German submarine of the SS Athos en route to France on 24 February 1917 caused the deaths of 543 Chinese labourers and eventually led to China declaring war on Germany on 14th August The British decided to transport their Chinese labourers by ship over the Pacific (often in the cargo holds), then six days across Canada in sealed trains, and invariably back in the holds to cross the Atlantic to Europe: it was an epic three month journey. Over crowded and frequently treated little better than cattle, the journey must have seemed like hell. But little did they know that the real horror still awaited them in France and Belgium. The work undertaken by the Chinese Labour Corps was extremely diverse. From digging trenches to repairing tanks. They unloaded ships and trains, built roads, laid railway tracks. They were kept on after the war to do some of the most dangerous and gruesome work, namely recovering live ordinance and exhuming the dead, moving the bodies and burying them in the numerous war cemeteries. The number of Chinese who were killed during the First World War is a subject of debate. Buried or commemorated in Commonwealth War Graves are around two thousand.
