Details	We focused on the inter-colonial population movement in the wars of 20th century, particularly in World War I. Among them were soldiers and military-related labourers as well as women who were mobilized for sexual and other purposes. The mechanism of their mobilization, the feature of their work and life in foreign countries, their encounter with people from other colonies and the impact of their war-time experiences on the society where they originated from were studied. In colonial context, war-time mobilization was inseparably related with peace-time labour mobilization and there was a significant degree of mobility of female population. The experiences of those who transcended the colonial borders in imminent situations were greatly differed from of those who joined the war voluntarily and later played a leading political role in the colonies.
