A stirring account of the two-division Indian Corps which arrived in Europe just in time for First Ypres. These dedicated regular soldiers found themselves in a land they had never seen, fighting an enemy of which they knew little and in a cause not their own. Led by British officers, the regiments fought throughout the first fifteen months of the war on the Western Front, before being transferred to Mesopotamia.
