Colonial Subjects in WWI and British Subjects in the Colonies
The aim of this pathway is to provide an example of the ways in which British colonial subjects participated, witnessed and responded to WWI. Both the global and national context of the war will be considered (e.g. British Indian and British African troops fighting in Europe and British troops fighting in Africa and Palestine) and it is hoped that the examples of writing (e.g. poetry and letters) and images catalogued here will prompt other researchers to develop this field further.

At the conclusion of this path are study questions. This path was created by Chris Ivic, Bath Spa University.
