Some 50,000 British Territorials served in India during the Great War. Astonishingly, it has taken a century for a book on them to be written. The Territorials - citizen soldiers, members of a force formed before the war for home defense - never expected to serve abroad, but volunteered for 'Imperial Service' at Lord Kitchener's request.
