*[https://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.503004 ''Across The Black Waters''] by Mulk Raj Anand. Reprint edition, possibly 1955, originally published 1940. Archive.org. mirror from Digital Library of India. A novel about Indian (Punjabi) soldiers who have crossed the black waters, against all the advice of their forefathers that calamity would befall anyone who went overseas, to join the British and their allies on the Western Front. The author was born in Peshawar in 1905, so was too young for first-hand experience of the war, but the book has a very authentic feel, suggesting that he not only did his research in books but also listened to the stories of older men who came back. He grew up in military cantonments, according to the introduction.<ref> Liz in Eastbourne.
