During the 1st World War a lot of Chinese came over as labour. They are acknowledged by the CWGC and have CWGC headstones. There are some very big cemeteries in France dedicated to these guys, St Sever for one has quite a number buried there, also Noyles has a huge memorial and cemetery dedicated to them. Most were used for re-building and unloading of supplies from ships and trains.
Must admit i haven't seen any WW2 labourers here in the UK.
