ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book outlines the arrival stories of the selected case study groups who came to Britain in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. It shows how each group played a role in war work. The book discusses local host responses to the presence of colonial and friendly migrants and refugees in wartime Britain. It examines how the government developed and implemented policies to monitor, control the residency patterns and direct the labour of overseas nationals. The book also discusses the implementation of the various repatriation initiatives, which removed colonial and friendly migrants and refugees from metropolitan Britain. These measures were part of the wider policy of limiting numbers entering Britain incorporated in the aliens restriction legislation of the wartime and post-war era.
