Book Description
When the First World War raged from 1914 to 1918, hundreds of thousands troops fought valiantly and millions of lives were lost. Much has been written about the allies (Britain, France and other European powers, Russia, the United States, Canada) battles with the opposing central powers (Germany, Austria - Hungary, Italy, Turkey) but few know that 1.38 million men from India were also sent to various theatres of war. As many as seven Indian expeditionary forces fought battles far from home. Whether it was the damp, flat fields of Flanders or the burning sands of Mesopotamia, the rocky, cold and windy hills of Gallipoli or unhealthy uplands and stifling jungles of East Africa, Indian soldiers left indelible imprints of their heroism, winning world-wide acclaim. For the first time, this book fills in the abysmal gap in the records of the war. Drawn from archives, regimental histories and other sources, this book tells the story of the tremendous contribution of the Indian corps to the victory of the allied forces.

Book Description
The book is primarily based on the facts and figures culled out from official records such as regimental histories, war diaries of the units and higher formations of the Indian Armed Forces, maintained by the India Office Library, London; the National Archives of India, Delhi; and the records preserved in various States’ Archives. Correspondence between the Secretary of State for War and the Viceroy in India was another vital source material. The War Dispatches from the Force Commanders to the Commander-in- Chief also helped in understanding the nuances of the First World War ( WW-I). Authentic published sources, some of which are first - hand accounts by participating Commanders, have also been used.
