When war engulfed Europe in 1914, the conflict quickly took on
global dimensions. Although fighting erupted in Africa and Asia,
the Great War primarily pulled troops from around the world into
Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Amid the fighting were large numbers
of expeditionary forces-and yet they have remained largely
unstudied as a collective phenomenon, along with the term
"expeditionary force" itself. This collection examines the
expeditionary experience through a wide range of case studies. They
cover major themes such as the recruitment, transport, and supply
of far-flung troops; the cultural and linguistic dissonance, as
well as gender relations, navigated by soldiers in foreign lands;
the political challenge of providing a rationale to justify their
dislocation and sacrifice; and the role of memory and
memorialization. Together, these essays open up new avenues for
understanding the experiences of soldiers who fought the First
World War far from home.
