<br>"''Sepoy in the Trenches: The Indian Corps on the Western Front, 1914-15'' by Gordon Corrigan, Kent, UK; first edition. 1999; 16 plates; 9 maps; hardcover; 274 pp. An excellent, updated account of the sufferings and heroism of the Indian regiments sent to France in the bitterest of winters clad only in tropical uniforms until transferred to the Mesopotamian Campaign in 1915. The author, a retired Major (late Royal Gurkha Rifles and ex-10GR), 1998), has an authentic feel for the old Indian Army and the times".
“Well worth tracking a copy, both as a fascinating book and a display of how good military history should be written.“<ref> Great War Forum thread [http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=214566&p=2122791 Indian Re-evaluation] by David Filsell 17 July 2014</ref>
