OK, just read another HISTORY TODAY article last wk bout the Chinese Labour Corps in France during 1916-18, and the virtually forgotten memorial to them- compared to all the national memorials of the Britisih & Dominion forces. Is there any way that Chinese involvement in Europe during WWI could've entailed a combat contribution, as opposed to just labourers ? Could there have been say Chinese soldiers using similar methods to the Boxer Rebellion goin over the top similarly to the British Indian or French African colonial troops ? With what effect on China's status at Versailles & other post-war developments ?
