MP calls for Walter Tull to receive Military Cross

The campaign seems to have grown more legs this month! I am pleased to report that Lucy Rigby, the Labour MP for Northampton North, shared an open letter, external to Alistair Carns, the minister for veterans and people, calling for Mr Tull to be "rightly commemorated".

She wrote: "Walter Tull's story is one than (sic) resonates deeply, which those in Northampton and far beyond.

"It is one of incredible success, talent and bravery, all in the face of the pervasive racial prejudices of the time."
