From October 1914 to October 1915, the men of the Indian Corps fought valiantly alongside the British Expeditionary Force in the 1st Battle of Ypres in 1914 and the Battles of Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge, Festubert and Loos in 1915. Later transferred to the battlefields of Mesopotamia, Marshal Foch would later declare that these men "showed us the way. They made the first steps towards final victory". This is their story , , ,
