0:37Now PlayingBritain's King Charles and Queen Camilla began the second day of a state visit to Kenya on Wednesday (November 1) by visiting a cemetery for veterans of World War Two. They awarded four veterans, who fought alongside the British, medals to replace ones they had disposed of during the Mau Mau uprising.
During the 1952-1960 Mau Mau revolt in central Kenya, some 90,000 Kenyans were killed or maimed and 160,000 detained, the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has estimated.
The cemetery is situated in an area associated with the Carrier Corps of World War I and has become known as 'Kariokor'. Most of the Kariokor casualties were not individually commemorated. King Charles used the occasion to address the historical inequalities which meant that Kenyans who fought alongside the British during both world wars were not commemorated.
The royal couple are on a four day visit to Kenya where the King has said he would attempt to understand the impact of colonial era atrocities at the hands of the British on the country.
