About this book:
Britains greatest commitment of land forces was on the Western Front; British, Empire, and Dominion troops also fought in other theatres of operations from 1914 to 1918 and in some cases continued to fight there after the Armistice had ended hostilities in the West. This last of a series of three titles describes these far-flung campaigns, in Italy, the Balkans, the Middle East, several parts of Africa, northern and eastern Russia, China, and even the Northwest Frontier of India. The text is illustrated with contemporary photographs and with meticulous color plates of British, African, Indian, and Australian troops, in the uniforms and equipment used on battle fronts from the desert sands to the snows of north Russia.
