The Empire included the Caribbean, parts of Africa, India and even parts of the Far East. The British Army were poorly prepared for a large scale war, and was less than a quarter the size of the German forces. The King called out to the Empire for assistance:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cI rejoice in my Empire\u2019s effort, and I feel pride in the voluntary response from my Subjects all over the world who have sacrificed home, fortune and life itself in order that another may not inherit the free Empire which their ancestors and mine have built. I ask you to make good these sacrifices.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">During the war 16,000 men from the Caribbean died, one million Africans died, and over one million Indian Soldiers served. Some enlisted into older Empire regiments like the West India Regiment. Others came to London to join other white British regiments.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Many men from the Empire who were already living in the UK joined local regiments. The war time spirit saw these men enlisting with pride to fight for their \u2018Motherland\u2019. They were not always welcomed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Hidden Heroes: Soldiers from the Empire<\/em><\/strong> is a project from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hidden-histories.org.uk\">Eastside Community Heritage<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdx.ac.uk\">Middlesex University<\/a>. <strong><em>Hidden Heroes<\/em><\/strong> brings the untold tales of the soldiers from the empire who fought in the First World War to the surface.
