Allied labour force 1918 
During the First World War soldiers on the western front depended on over 
300,000 men to load and unload railway wagons, build barracks, camps, roads 
and fortifications. Workers included prisoners of war and Indian, South African 
and Chinese labourers. The groups formed a forgotten army whose 
unglamorous work was essential to ensure the maintenance of the war effort.
