Did you know that the British Army purchased the fittest specimens arriving on the slave ships from Africa to serve in the West Indian Regiment? Well, come and hear this and other interesting stories brought to us, courtesy of Olive Senior’s “The Encyclopedia of Jamaican Heritage” further demonstrating the impact our tiny Island has had on world affairs. Join us as we learn the important part Jamaican born solders played in defending the British as far back as 1795.
