Princess Anne has honoured black South African servicemen who died in non-combat roles during World War I. Anne unveiled the Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial as president of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission on Wednesday. The soldiers died without having a known grave, but now their names are carved on poles of African hardwood that are set upright as if reaching for the sun. Report by Bangurak.
