Description:When the First World War raged from 1914 to 1918, hundreds of thousands troops fought valiantly and millions of lives were lost.Much has been written about the allies (Britain, France and other European powers, Russia, the United States, Canada) battles with the opposing central powers (Germany, Austria - Hungary, Italy, Turkey) but few know that 1.38 million men from India were also sent to various theatres of war. As many as seven Indian expeditionary forces fought battles far from home.
