The Indian Corps played a major role in the British attack on Neuve Chapelle, one of the first large offensives on the Western Front. Indian soldiers fought in conditions for which the colonial army had not been prepared, suffering heavy casualties. Their service challenged racial hierarchies even as they remained subjects of empire.
