Welcome to the Ensuring We Remember Campaign’s Chinese Labour Corps’ memorial location prospectus. The purpose of this mini site is to give information to a range of stakeholdrs, partners and potential supporters about the location requirements for the proposed national memorial to the 96,000 volunteers of the Chinese Labour Corps who came to Britain’s assistance during the First World War.
Memorial Concept and Design PrinciplesIt will be over a century between the first Chinese volunteer arriving on the Western Front and the unveiling of the UK's national memorial to the Chinese Labour Corps. Long overdue, we believe the tribute to these men should be a fitting one, and so we have outlined general concepts and guidelines for the memorial.
The social, cultural and economic benefits of the Chinese Labour Corps MemorialAs specified in our concepts and design guidelines, the memorial will have an intrinsic aesthetic appeal. But the memorial will bring more than an aesthetically pleasing addition to the urban realm. Because of its social and cultural significance, it will become a must visit site for Chinese tourists to the UK, and therefore has an intrinsic economic value.
