The Sepoys on the Western Front…often praised - sometimes derided.

Were they lions in the trenches or did they fail the big test against the Germans?

Were they terrified by artillery, did a huge number deliberately wound themselves, and could they operate without command and control from their British officers?

These are all thorny questions and ones which we will be examining closely today.
