British Imperial Army in the Middle East
Morale and Military Identity in the Sinai and Palestine Campaigns, 1916-18
Introduction
The First World War has often been understood in terms of the combat experiences of soldiers on the Western Front; those combatants who served in the other theatres of the war have been neglected. Using personal testimonies, official documentation and detailed research from a diverse range of archives, The British Imperial Army in the Middle East explores the combat experiences of these soldiers.
The Army and Its Diversity
The army that fought the Ottoman Empire was a multinational and multi-ethnic force, drawing personnel from across Britain’s empire, including Australia, New Zealand, and India.
Perspective and Context
By taking a transnational and imperial perspective on the First World War, this book ensures that the campaigns in Egypt and Palestine are considered in the wider context of an empire mobilised to fight a total and global war.
