WALTER TULL

That this House fully supports the campaign to recognise the achievements of Walter Tull with a statue in his honour; notes that Walter Tull was the first black British officer to lead white soldiers into battle; recognises his strong record of bravery and gallantry in wartime, being posthumously awarded the British War and Victory Medal; further notes his prior accomplishments as a successful professional footballer for a number of clubs, often in the face of vocal racial abuse; and believes that Walter Tull is a timeless role model for every generation.
