The Indian Army on the Western Front : India's Expeditionary Force to France and Belgium in the First World War

Summary: The Indian army fought alongside the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front from 1914 to 1918, but analysis of its performance tends to deem this a failure. Examining the tactical, operational and administrative performance of the Indian army, this study reconsiders its contribution and combat effectiveness.
