In this episode of Kirklees Armed Forces TV, Dr Milton Brown sits down with Donald Campbell, the Founder and CEO of The Forgotten Generations.

Following the successful launch of their virtual museum, the organisation is releasing a powerful new publication titled “Lest We Forget.”

This book brings to light the vital stories of seven Black RAF veterans and two World War II veterans whose contributions have long been overlooked in the traditional British narrative.

What’s Inside This Interview?

Donald Campbell discusses the deep personal and historical significance of these stories, including:

• The Origins of “Lest We Forget”: How the project transitioned from a virtual exhibition to a permanent publication.

• Surprising Accounts: Moving stories from veterans that even surprised the researchers.

• Impact on Youth: Why it is crucial for younger generations, particularly within Black communities, to see themselves reflected in British military history.

• The Future: What’s next for The Forgotten Generations and the untold stories still waiting to be shared.
