Walter Tull’s achievements in professional football and the British Army are presented alongside the stated failure to award his Military Cross recommendation because of his skin colour.
The life story moves from childhood in an orphanage through football and army service to Tull’s death while leading men at the Somme.
Expect references to orphanhood, trench warfare, death at twenty-nine, and racial discrimination.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
