Welcome to the 'We Were There' Exhibition website

Welcome to the Ministry of Defence's internet version of the 'We Were There' Exhibition. It is our tribute to the contribution made to our defence by military and civilian personnel from what was then the British Empire and later the Commonwealth and whose descendants now form part of the richly diverse ethnic population in the United Kingdom. The 'We Were There' website won an award in the prestigious Race in the Media Awards 2002.

Please use the left hand navigation panel to work your way through the site.
