pp. xv, 463 plus 32 pages of B&W and Colour plates. “This account quotes extensively from soldiers diaries and other eyewitness sources, bringing to life the searing experiences of non-white troops. This book unveils shocking truths such as: the first soldier of the British Army to fire a shot in World War I was a black African; by the end of 1914 one third of the British sector of the Western Front was held by Indian soldiers; by 1917 the Western Front was the most multi-national, multi-racial, multi-faith place that had ever existed — a strange portent of Europes future; and Germany created a special camp with a mosque and halal food in an attempt to persuade Muslim P.O.W.s to defect.”
