Photograph, World War One, East Africa, 1916 (c).

Although the King's African Rifles were led by British officers, most of the regiment's non-commissioned officers (NCOs) were African. The second battalion had been disbanded in 1911 at Zomba, but was reformed in April 1916 at Nairobi from four companies of the 1st Battalion.
