EDITORS COMMENTS
In the Niger Country, our Native Troops in Peace Time and on Active Service" is a captivating lithograph that offers a glimpse into the military life of African soldiers during the late 19th century. Created by Frank Dadd and published in The Graphic on November 4,1899, this print showcases the bravery and dedication of these native troops. The image depicts members of the West African Field Force engaged in various activities. On one side, we see them receiving their well-deserved pay, symbolizing their commitment to duty even in times of peace. On the other side, they are shown actively serving in action as part of the Royal Niger Company's Constabulary. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush landscapes characteristic of Africa's Niger Country. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life both the tranquility experienced during peaceful moments and the intensity faced during active service. This lithograph not only highlights the courage displayed by these soldiers but also sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of history –the significant contributions made by native troops within colonial military forces. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork serves as a reminder of Africa's rich military heritage and its role in shaping global events. It stands as a testament to those who served with honor and valor amidst challenging circumstances.
