EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during a safari training exercise in 1957, as members of 'A' Company, 4th Battalion The King's African Rifles, hone their skills in handling the Bren Light Machine Gun. The image was taken by Lt. Roger Perkins during their journey from the Sudan border in Northern Karamoja to Morote. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and carrying their equipment, are seen in a serene yet focused environment, surrounded by the untouched beauty of the African savannah. The contrast between the modern weaponry and the raw, natural landscape underscores the unique challenges and complexities of military operations in this region during that time. The 41 photographs taken by Lt. Perkins during this safari offer a rare glimpse into the daily life and experiences of the soldiers serving in the King's African Rifles during the late 1950s. These images not only document the training exercises, but also capture the camaraderie, determination, and resilience of the soldiers as they navigated the diverse terrain and conditions of their deployment. The King's African Rifles, a multi-national military force, played a significant role in maintaining order and security in various parts of Africa during the colonial era. The soldiers' ability to adapt to their surroundings and effectively use their weapons was crucial to their success in carrying out their mission. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and complexities of the military presence in Africa during this period.
