<p>This is a historically important and thrilling narrative of the deeds of the Indian Corps in Flanders in France in the early days of the Great War. During the course of the First World War an Indian Army was raised trained and equipped for service in India alone and upon its frontiers. Soon this army was deployed from Egypt on the west to China in the east and had embraced most of the intervening countries. The landing of two Indian Divisions of the Indian Corps in the harbor of Marseilles in September and October 1914 was not only a great event in the chronicles of the Indian Army but in the entire human history. This book describes the manner in which the soldiers and the drafts and reinforcements by which it was followed comported themselves in the fierce struggle of 1914-15 to a country where the climate the language the people the culture were all alien to them.</p>
