Description
Set against the backdrop of World War I, Forgotten tells the little-known story of the 140,000 Chinese Labour Corps who travelled halfway around the world to work for Britain and the Allies behind the front lines.
In 1917, life in Horse Shoe Village is tough. The villagers struggle to survive, but a fierce war in Europe may present an opportunity for them to put their lives back on track.
This book explores the experiences of these Chinese workers, who left everything behind to contribute to the Allied effort during one of the most tumultuous periods in history.
