Chinese Labour Corps workers arrive in Plymouth

📅 11 April 1917 📍 China, Verenigd Koninkrijk

The first British-recruited Chinese laborers reached Plymouth after a dangerous journey across the Pacific and Canada. Their arrival marked a largely hidden contribution to Allied logistics. Workers were kept in controlled camps and separated from local communities, and after the armistice many stayed to clear battlefields and bury the dead.
