The Indian army fought on the western front with the British
Expeditionary Force (BEF) from 1914 to 1918. The traditional
interpretations of its performance have been dominated by ideas
that it was a failure. This book offers a radical reconsideration
by revealing new answers to the debate's central questions, such as
whether the Indian army 'saved' the BEF from defeat in 1914, or
whether Indian troops were particularly prone to self-inflicting
wounds and fleeing the trenches. It looks at the Indian army from
top to bottom, from generals at headquarters to snipers in no man's
land. It takes a global approach, exploring the links between the
Indian army's 1914-18 campaigning in France and Belgium and its
pre-1914 small wars in Asia and Africa, and comparing the
performance of the Indian regiments on the western front to those
in China, East Africa, Mesopotamia and elsewhere.
