Description
Following the First World War, Britain implemented policies to repatriate populations of colonial and friendly migrants and refugees. These individuals had played significant roles in the war effort, serving in various capacities such as the armed forces, labour battalions, and key wartime industries. This book examines the reasons behind these repatriation policies and explores the imposition of wartime and post-war legal restrictions on these groups. It sheds light on a major shift in policy towards reducing the settlement and employment of overseas populations in Britain. By uncovering the complexities of this period, Jacqueline Jenkinson's work provides valuable insights into a significant chapter in British history.
