Imperial War Museums

This powerful exhibition explores the little-known conflicts of the 1950s in Malaya, Kenya and Cyprus—conflicts described at the time by the British Government as “Emergencies”. Imperial War Museums+1 Through a compelling combination of personal testimonies, historical documents, original artefacts and visual displays, the show reveals the profound impact of colonial struggle on ordinary people and the modern world.
