Uses newspaper articles, photographs and British Army Service Records.One of the very few, black professional footballers of his generation.The first black officer in the British Army to lead white troops in to battle Walter Tull showed that with enough determination, the right application and a strong self belief, the colour of a mans skin did not have to be a barrier in preventing black men from being accepted as equals, and from leading successful lives in a predominantly white British society.
