The Punjab region of India sent more than 600,000 combatants to assist the British war effort during World War I. Their families back home, thousands of miles from the major scenes of battle, were desperate for war news, and newspapers provided daily reports to keep the local population up-to-date with developments on the Western Front. This book presents the first English-language translations of hundreds of articles published during World War I in the newsapers of the Punjab region. They offer a lens into the anxieties and aspirations of Punjabis, a population that committed resources, food, labour as well as combatants to the British war effort. Amidst a steadily growing field of studies on World War I that examine the effects of the war on colonial populations, War News in India makes a unique and timely contribution.

Soon after the guns in Belgium and France had signalled the commencement of what would become the world's single most destructive conflict to date, the British, Ottoman, German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, French and Belgian Empires were at war. Empires in World War I marks a turn away from the pre-eminence of the Western Front in the current scholarship, and seeks to reconstitute our understanding of this war as a truly global struggle between competing empires. Based on primary research, this book opens up new debates on the effects of the Great War in colonial arenas. The book assesses the effects of the war on Native Americans in the United States for example, as well as on the relationship between India and Pakistan, the British justice system in Palestine and the 'imperial scramble' in the Asia-Pacific region. Empires in World War I will be essential reading for students and scholars of the twentieth century.

Perhaps there is no more terrible expression in Holy Scripture than "the wrath of the Lamb" (Rev. vi. 16). " Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him " (Ps. ii. 12). teal en/rerat Uvtov Tt? odafto;, and every eye shall see Him. Not in any spiritual or transcendental sense shall Christ our King and Judge be seen; but all who are alive at His coming, as well as those who shall have a share in the first resurrection, shall see Him?see Him as He was when, from the Mount of Olives, He left this earth, bearing in His body those marks of suffering which He carried with Him to heaven?those "wounds wherewith He was wounded in the house of His friends " (Zech. xiii. 6). Was not the seeing Christ what Job, the patriarch of Uz, so ardently longed for ? " Yet in my flesh shall I see God." I?this poor creaturely being, racked with pain, and weak with sores, brought down with infirmity and disease to the very dust, helpless, bereaved, alone?I shall see the Redeemer for myself, mine eyes shall behold Him, and not another (Job xix. 27). Every eye shall see Him, not " with visage marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men"?"an astonishment and a byword" (Deut xxviii. 37)?so that those who saw Him were dumb with the amazement of scorn at one so abject claiming to be the Messiah; but now He shall be seen coming as from Bozrah, travelling in the greatness of His strength, proclaiming Himself as He that speaks of righteousness, mighty to save those who trust in Him, while He will inflict judgment upon His enemies. It will be a day of judgment to the hostile Gentiles, as His first coming was to the unbelieving Jews. Every eye shall see Him. Now the heavens ha...
