EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Askaris, the local African soldiers who served in the King's African Rifles (KAR) during the colonial era in East Africa. The image, taken in Nairobi, Kenya, in the year 1930, depicts a group of Askaris on parade, proudly displaying their military discipline and dedication. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, complete with peaked caps, red fezzes, and white shirts, the Askaris exude a sense of pride and professionalism. Each soldier carries a rifle slung over his shoulder and a sword at his side, emblematic of their role as soldiers in the KAR. The parade ground in Nairobi, the bustling capital city of Kenya, serves as the backdrop for this scene. The lush greenery and blue skies of East Africa are visible in the background, adding to the sense of tranquility and orderliness. The Askaris were an integral part of the British colonial military forces in East Africa, serving in various capacities from the late 19th century until Kenya's independence in 1963. They were highly respected for their bravery and loyalty, and many went on to serve in World War I and II. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex history of colonialism in Africa and the role that African soldiers played in shaping it. It also highlights the resilience and adaptability of the Askaris, who served their countries with distinction despite the challenges and hardships they faced.
