[The government has apologised
for failures to properly commemorate
black and Asian troops who died
in World War One fighting for the British Empire.
Some troops were commemorated collectively
or their names were recorded in registers,
while their white counterparts had headstones.
A report by the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission found the reason for
this was "pervasive racism".
In the Commons, Defence Secretary
Ben Wallace expressed "deep regret".
He told MPs there was "no doubt" prejudice
had played a part in what happened after WW1.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission,
which is tasked with commemorating those
who died in the two world wars,
has also apologised over its findings.
Labour MP David Lammy, who was critical to
bringing the matter to light,
called it a "watershed moment".]
