Headline news on the BBC but while I agree it was wrong I think that applying todays standards to events that happened 100 years ago is pointless.
Social , political and cultural 'norms' were very different and there are many lessons to be learned but the modern (social media driven) situation of people/companies/institutions having to issue an apology for 'historical' practices seems to be more about 'appearance' (fear of bad publicity) .

The investigation was set up by the commission in 2019, following a Channel 4 documentary, Unremembered, presented by Labour MP and shadow justice secretary David Lammy.

Everyone Remembered

The Royal British Legion, as the UK’s national custodian of Remembrance is working with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to keep alive the memory of those who died in the First World War. By the end of the Centenary in 2018, our objective is to ensure every fallen hero from across the Commonwealth is remembered individually by those living today.
