We too often think of WWI as being a largely European war, with US and ANZAC involvement, but it was much wider than that. There are so many stories of conflict involving other nations: African troops were drawn into the conflict, as were labour corps members from all over the world, and a number of whom are commemorated at the Hollybrook memorial, which is ten minutes drive from my house. Standing reading the casualty names made more impact on me than reading any history books could have done.
