This event is part of the British Empire and Dominions at War, 1914-19  conference from the National Army Museum, the Western Front Association, and the British Commission for Military History.

Imperial Britain’s war began and ended in Africa. Yet it is the theatre we discuss least in public discourse. Our international panel will shed new light on the campaigns in Africa – and the soldiers who fought them.
