What an incredible man. Interesting video, thank you. My only criticism is that a lot of the relevant photos were shown on the small 'screen' in the background while the narration is going on and we can see more of the cartoon character than we can of the historic photos. Can you swap this around in future videos please so that we can get a better look at the historic photos.

I initially thought it would be someone from one of the first countries Britain colonized with a black population a few hundred years ago as some of the native troops in the British army eventually get promoted up. Your extra qualifier of "Has to have lead white troops" is a little misleading and should be in the title as I suspect the first black as well as asian officers were actually from a much earlier period, except they lead troops in the British army consisting of natives from the places where the units were based.

Those units would not be part of the British Army per se, though.

Who cares! Forget skin colour, a stupid qualification. More interesting is the question of who were and are the British military leadership by merit of competence rather than money or position.

Considering that the British empire was an incredibly racist institution talking about how non whites got positions of leadership matters quite a bit, as for the bit about competence determining leadership roles in the army, that was set after the Crimean war after which you couldn't buy yourself a commission

@@markwalshopoulos Such an ignorant opinionated comment, "considering" "incredibly" "racist"; epithets without a single fact to back them up. The British Empire was a class based institution much like India's caste based institutions then and today. On the other hand racism is an all-American thing unjustly foist upon the English by ideological left wing 'useful idiots' and, never attributed to other linguistic cultures like russians or Germans, read about the Battle of Bamber Bridge. Fool!

@@desydukuk291 did you not watch the video you big eejit? There was a specific regulation against black people becoming officers, colonialism was fundamentally racist, based on the belief that non whites couldn't rule themselves and that their territory belonged to British people, you know, the whole terra nullius thing. You're so pissed at imaginary lefties that you're creating an alternate reality where these massive empires were benevolent and egalitarian
