Sergeant Adjetey, Corporal Attipoe, and Private Odartey are names deeply etched into the memories of most Ghanaians.
These ex-servicemen fought for the British in World War II but were killed while attempting to present a petition on unpaid benefits to the colonial government on February 28, 1948.
Their deaths triggered a chain of events that many believe ultimately led to Ghana's independence.
Seventy-seven years later, it is worth reflecting on who these men were, what led to their deaths, and whether their sacrifice truly played a pivotal role in Ghana's independence just nine years later.
