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. 410 0$aWar, culture and society. 606 $aWorld War (1914-1918)$xMilitary campaigns 606 $220th century history: c 1900 to c 2000 607 $aGreat Britain 607 $aSinai (Egypt) 615 0$aWorld War (1914-1918)$xMilitary campaigns. 676 $a940.41241 700 $aKitchen$b James E.$0948091 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787637703321 996 $aThe British Imperial Army in the Middle East$93849863 997 $aUNINA
