I realized very early on that I've always been attracted to in media and fiction, unconventional protagonists that while are heroic, they're NOT at all the typical type of "heroes" you'd expect.

A funny little story about Napoleon,

Being one day in the Empress's chamber while she was dressing, he accidentally trod on the foot of the lady who presided at the toilette, and immediately cried out as though he had himself been hurt. "What is the matter?" inquired the empress anxiously. "Nothing, nothing" he replied whilst he burst into a fit of laughter. "I trod on the lady's toe and I cried out only to prevent her from doing so. You see my plan succeeded." - On Napoleon

A British view of World War One, which will include photographs of Canadian and Australian troops due to their contribution to the war.

Valve Testing: The Signal School RN Barracks At Portsmouth by Arthur David McCormick.

Canadian soldiers releasing a homing pigeon from a Trench in the western front on May 17, 1917.

The Workroom of the Gerrard’s Cross War Hospital Supply Depot by J. Barnes Davis (1918).

Volunteers for the British army parading behind a civilian band on a London street, August 1914. Such volunteers formed the bulk of the divisions which attacked on July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

An Australian newspaper of August 5, 1914 announcing the outbreak of the war.

Soldiers of the 4th Battalion the Royal Fusiliers resting before the Battle of Mons on August 22, 1914

Women trucking clay to a moulding house for silica brick making, Wales

The 1st Battalion, Australian Imperial Force at Steele’s Post, above ANZAC Cove, May 3, 1915

The particular source that I got these pictures from is called An Illustrated History of the First World War by John Keegan. It includes perhaps three to four instances of colonial troops photographs but to my knowledge none pictured fought for Britain. Their sacrifice for a country that mistreated them should not be forgotten, and I choose to memorialize these men here. Though they aren’t pictured in this particular post, they still existed and should be recognized.
