the forum would give you an idea where the Chinese labourers were recruited.

In a war cemetery website, the host invites questions and promises to reply. I did get a reply a couple of years ago, in regard to the Chinese burial section. I saw images of headstones with Chinese inscription.
It was quite by accident that I found this obscure aspect of the Great War. I heard on radio someone was driving past a war cemetery in France ( or Belgium) and saw a pointer pointing to the Chinese section. It did not register straightaway, then he hit the anchors for curiosity had got the better of him.
