Noyelles-sur-Mer
This country town experienced massive changes when the British military chose Noyelles as the headquarters for the Chinese Labour Corps.
Chinese Workers in WWI
Chinese workers either signed a contract with the French (5 years) or with the British (3 years). The French tended to assign workers to civilian employers - factories, farms, the docks. The British assigned them to military units for work related to keeping the front lines supplied: repairing roads and railways; loading and unloading food, fuel, ammunition; digging and clearing trenches. Although the laborers were supposed to be civilians, they were subject to military discipline. Chinese workers were also deployed in the UK.
