Image description

From: Album of architectural and topographical views, mostly in South Asia. Photographer(s): R. G. Arnold These photographs portray men who served for the British during the East Africa campaign, one of the longest campaigns of the First World War. Throughout the war European powers exploited human and material resources from across their colonial empires. In the East Africa campaign the British mobilised approximately one million African people to serve in the Carrier Corps, a conscripted labour force. Losses were heavy and higher than those in other conflict zones; approximately 95,000 carriers died in East Africa.
