Reading the articles in the Daily Mail magazine in the last two weeks (as it's the 100th anniversary of WW.1. soon) I was astounded to read that the M.O.D used 100,000 Chinese labourers to dig the trenches in France &Belgium ! my questions are, Where did they get the Chinese labourers from ?--- Were they paid ? --- Was this done before the fighting ''kicked off''?and if so were they protected by the army?--- Who did the Germans use to dig their trenches ?
