Deaths from sickness: British West Indies Regiment
Deaths from sickness: British West Indies Regiment
From the badly sanitised and cramped training camps of Seaford and Plymouth, to the unheated voyage via Halifax, Canada without winter uniform in a blizzard, and the malarial conditions of Egypt and Tanzania, of the 16,500 men who voluntarily enlisted, sickness was the largest cause of death. There is a separate community for those who are reported to have been killed on the Western Front.
