Notes
This is No. 10 in Helion's "War and Military Culture in South Asia 1757 - 1947" Series. As the publishers say of this book: "The contribution of the Indian Army to the First World War has been, until recently, at best forgotten and at worst ignored. That is especially so of those military units provided by the semi-autonomous Indian Princely States, whose contribution, even in the Official Histories, barely merits a mention". This book seeks to correct that imbalance. As always with Helion, it is a beautifully produced book and offers a narrative about Indian units in various theatres of war across the globe during the war.
