EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Askari Monument in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, a poignant tribute to the Askari soldiers who valiantly fought in the British Carrier Corps during the First World War. The monument, located in the heart of the city, stands as a testament to the significant role these African soldiers played in the global conflict. The Askari Monument, erected in the 1920s (circa 1930), is a symbol of the complex history of colonialism and military service in East Africa during the early 20th century. The Askari soldiers, primarily from the Sukuma, Haya, and Nyamwezi ethnic groups, were recruited from the local population to serve in the British military. They were highly regarded for their bravery, discipline, and loyalty, and their contributions were instrumental in various campaigns, particularly in the Middle East and East Africa. The monument's design features a life-size bronze statue of an Askari soldier, standing tall and proud on a plinth. The soldier is depicted wearing the traditional uniform, complete with the distinctive red fez and carrying a rifle. The monument's base is inscribed with the words "To the Askari," a Swahili term meaning "soldier," acknowledging the sacrifices and dedication of these African warriors. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Askari Monument as a symbol of unity, courage, and resilience. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of military service in Tanzania and the significant contributions of the Askari soldiers during the First World War.
