This video introduces children to the life of Walter Tull, a professional footballer in England and one of the first Black officers who led soldiers into battle during World War 1.

This video is part of Kapow History’s Whole school Remembrance collection. It helps children understand his courage, leadership and determination, and how he is remembered for making history both on the football pitch and in the army.
