The Great War

This chapter details the story of the IEFA (Indian Corps), which fought in France. We tackle the question whether the IEFA faced a breakdown of morale; if not, how was it able to cope with the challenges of mass industrial trench warfare in the cold damp region of north France and the Low Countries? How the sepoys and sowars were able to make a transition from waging small wars to conducting mass industrial warfare centring round mud-filled trenches and mass infantry attacks supported by voluminous heavy gunfire is an issue discussed here. The first section deals with tactics and techniques of warfare for which the sepoys and sowars were prepared before the onset of the Great War, and the second section discusses the adaptation and adoption on part of the Indian troops in face of combat along the Western Front. The third section relates the soldiers’ experiences with issues of morale and discipline.

Ce livre constitue le tangible monument du colloque d'Oxford, tenu récemment. Il contient le texte de douze communications, présentées par cinq historiens anglais et par sept historiens néerlandais et, en outre, une conférence, lue peu après, par un historien américain. Les thèmes abordés appartiennent à l'histoire politique (8 communications), à la critique et à l'heuristique, à l'histoire littéraire. Deux communications seulement relatives à l'histoire économique : celle de B. H. Slicher van Bath (The Rise of Intensive Husbandry in the Low Countries) et celle de H. J. Habakkuk (The English Land Market in the Eighteenth Century). La période moderne (avant 1789) est mieux représentée que la période contemporaine : 8 communications contre 5. Parmi celles-ci, deux portent sur le passé immédiat, depuis 1940.
