Osprey Men-at-Arms 406 : The British Army in World War I (3) : The Eastern Fronts

Britain's greatest commitment of land forces was on the Western Front. However 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 three books describes these far-flung campaigns, in Italy, the Balkans, the Middle East, several parts of Africa, northern and eastern Russia, China, and even the North-West Frontier of India. The text is illustrated with contemporary photographs, and with meticulous colour 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. Text and illustrations by Mike Chappell.
