Shot At Dawn Memorial 2026: Remembering African & Caribbean Soldiers with Donald Campbell & Prince Albert Jacob (101) 🇬🇧🎖️ | The Edge Special 💬 "When you're on the frontline, the bullet has no discrimination whatsoever... It is time we recognize that Britain is what it is because of our service." Following up on our landmark in-depth studio conversation with RAF veteran Donald Campbell (Founder of The Forgotten Generations CIC), Roger Moore and The Edge media crew travel on location to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire for a deeply moving broadcast special. In this exclusive documentary-style feature, we capture the solemn Shot At Dawn Remembrance Service (20th September 2026), dedicated to remembering the soldiers executed during World War I—including the seven African and Caribbean soldiers posthumously pardoned in 2006—and recognizing the vital, often overlooked contributions of Black Commonwealth servicemen across generations. This special programme brings you into the heart of the ceremony, featuring powerful attendee reflections and remarkable conversations—from Donald Campbell discussing the drive to institutionalize our history, to an unforgettable interview with 101-year-old World War II RAF veteran Prince Albert Jacob. 🕒 What to Expect in This Special Programme: * The Ceremony & Wreath Laying: Complete coverage of the service at the National Memorial Arboretum, the solemn reading of the names, the Last Post, and honoring the executed servicemen pardoned in 2006. * Conversation with Prince Albert Jacob (Age 101): Rare, invaluable testimony from a living legend and centenarian RAF WWII veteran reflecting on wartime service, survival, and brotherhood. * On-Site Dialogue with Donald Campbell: The mission behind The Forgotten Generations, dismantling historical ignorance, and ensuring Caribbean and African service is permanently part of national remembrance and education. * Community & Veteran Voices: Highlighting vox-pop reflections from attendees, standard bearers, and community elders on breaking trauma, remembering sacrifice, and giving our heroes their flowers. * Lest We Forget: Why documenting our living history today provides the foundation our youth need for tomorrow. 🔗 Connect & Support: * The Forgotten Generations CIC: https://theforgottengenerations.com/ (Explore the virtual museum, exhibitions, and educational resources) * Affinity Xtra Network: https://affinityxtra.co.uk/ * Be Extra!
