Ask David Killingray and Cliff Pereira for info - both have written about WWI. The Ministry of Defence's We were there has info, but much of it is inaccurate. There is also The Empire Needs Men, published many years ago, I think by the Imperial War Museum - quite useful. Ask for the MoD and the IWM for info also. I shall look in my articles on the merchant seamen to see what I can find. _____ From: The Black and Asian Studies Association [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Dan Lyndon Sent: 14 October 2011 09:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: WW1 Thanks for all the very interesting responses - are there any specific sources / documents that people think should be made available to students? Or any that you think might be tucked away in national archives across europe?

And then about those in the merchant marine.
