Thanks to Facebook, I have just noticed that the following Conference is currently being held at the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh. See http://warandcolonies.com

On the occasion of the commemoration of the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, the Alliance Française de Dhaka is organising an exhibition and an international conference on the theme of “War and colonies”. The exhibition will show 35 rare photographs of colonial troops in the Great War and the conference will bring together French, German, Irish, American, Indian and Bangladeshi historians who will present papers related to the chosen theme. Though it will be touching on the relationship between WWI and the colonies from diverse angles.

Fortunately, the exhibition of really fascinating photographs can be viewed on their site

Just an interesting view of the Great War which is rarely seen or known about by the general public.
