Changes

'''First World War''' information relevant to British India, including the involvement of the [[Indian Army]] and of [[Anglo Indians]] in the [[British Army]]. During the First World War compulsory service was deemed necessary and the Indian Defence Force Act was passed in 1917. European British men between the ages of 18 and 41 were subject to compulsory service within India. Thus men serving overseas were

not sent as conscripts, but had voluntarily joined either the [[Indian Army]], or the [[British Army]].
