Speaker: Adam Prime. Adam is a historian of the Indian Army with a PhD from the University of Leicester.
Dr Prime’s talk looks at India’s contribution to the First World War in every sense of the word.
It takes in the huge recruitment boom. It also looks at the experiences of Indian soldiers (and their British officers) on the Western Front, in Gallipoli, in Mesopotamia and in the Middle East. Finally, it looks at India itself; and the actions undertaken there to defend the North West Frontier.
