EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the image of a Kenyan Askari, a native soldier in British East Africa's colonial army, standing rigidly to attention in full ceremonial costume in the year 1918. The Askari, dressed in khaki uniform, is armed with a rifle slung over his shoulder, a belt holding ammunition pouches, and wearing puttee on his legs, shorts, and sandals. His hat sits squarely on his head, and his posture is straight and unyielding, reflecting the discipline and dedication instilled in him as a member of the colonial forces. The Askari played a significant role in the defense of British East Africa during World War I, and this photograph serves as a testament to their bravery and commitment to their duty. The Kenyan Askari were recruited from various ethnic groups in Kenya, and they served alongside British officers and other African troops in various campaigns against German forces in what is now Tanzania. The photograph provides a glimpse into the colonial era in Kenya and the role that African soldiers played in shaping its history. It also highlights the complexities of the colonial relationship, where African soldiers were both subjects of the British Empire and active participants in its military endeavors. The image is a powerful reminder of the rich historical legacy of Kenya and the important contributions of its people to the global history of the 20th century.
