The history profession owes a debt of gratitude to Dr Marika Sherwood who has sadly passed away. She was a fearless, indefatigable, and inspirational figure who will be sadly missed.

Would love to know what became of him and the girl behind, who could be his sister(?)

Writing a book about POC in Britain after #WW1. Research is challenging at the best of times, and hindered when documents which, despite being catalogued @UkNatArchives, can't be found... 🤔
