The book addresses the important global role of the Indian Army
during the First World War. It is an academic reassessment of the
army by both established and early career scholars of the Indian
Army, as well as naval historians. It looks at the historiography
of the army - taking into account the recent work on the army
(particularly on the Western Front in 1914-1915). The edited volume
covers the traditional areas of the Indian Army on the Western
Front, in Palestine, Mesopotamia and the defence of the Suez Canal;
however, there are also chapters on combined operations; Indian
prisoners of war in Germany and Turkey; the expansion of the
officer corps; and the Sikh experience, as well as the mobilisation
of the equine army at the beginning of the war and the
demobilisation of the army in the period from 1918 until 1923.
Three additional chapters are related to the theme, such as the
role of the Royal Indian Marine; the Territorial Army in India; and
Churchill's portrayal of the Indian Army during the Gallipoli
campaign in his account The World Crisis.
