During the Napoleonic Wars in Spain the soldiers of Portugal fought in the same as British soldiers under General William Beresford. Half of the soldiers were basically just Militia from the old army which had to be rebuilt from the ground up but they fought just as bravely and weathered the campaigns as well as their British and Spanish allies in some of the key battles of that campaign in Portugal and at the Spanish border. Their marines had a shako which inspired the British Army to adopt the Belgic style shako which was worn in the latter part of the conflict. Soldiers of Portugal also fought in the 1st World War.

UK Google has a fascinating article about the history of the black population of the UK. Check it out. Seacole was a saint. She was.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Hey I cross-posted this in D&D's black feminism thread, where any and all history relating to black women would be much appreciated. Come tell us about Seacole! I'm flattered now but I know as much as the article in the URL, my big book covering the Crimean War is still on hold due to a backlog. But she got a statue in her honour this year in the UK!
