The Indian Army Fighting for Empire -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index"The First World War has often been understood in terms of the combat experiences of soldiers on the Western Front; those combatants who served in the other theatres of the war have been neglected. Using personal testimonies, official documentation and detailed research from a diverse range of archives, The British Imperial Army in the Middle East explores the combat experiences of these soldiers. The army that fought the Ottoman Empire was a multinational and multi-ethnic force, drawing personnel from across Britain's empire, including Australia, New Zealand, and India. By taking a transnational and imperial perspective on the First World War, this book ensures that the campaigns in Egypt and Palestine are considered in the wider context of an empire mobilised to fight a total and global war."--Bloomsbury Publishing.War, culture and society.World War (1914-1918)Military campaigns20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000Great BritainSinai (Egypt)World War (1914-1918)Military campaigns.940.41241940.43Kitchen James E.948091UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910966971703321The British Imperial Army in the Middle East4476469UNINA
