The memorial honours the five million men and women from Undivided India, Africa and the Caribbean who volunteered to serve with the Armed Forces during the First and Second World Wars. It also celebrates the contribution that these men and women and their descendants, members of the Commonwealth family, continue to make to the rich diversity of British society.
