The colonial contribution to Britain's First World War effort came from places like Rhodesia, Tonga, the Falkland Islands, Ceylon and Kuwait as much as it did the larger territories. It is the social and cultural reactions within these distant, often overlooked, societies now thrust into the mainstream of modern industrial conflict, which is the focus of this volume. From Singapore to Australia, Cyprus to Ireland, India to Jamaica, and around the rest of the British imperial world, many complexities and interlocking themes are addressed.
