The King's African Rifles 1902-1960 🇬🇧🇺🇬🇸🇸🇸🇩 "The King's African Rifles (KAR) was a multi-battalion British colonial regiment raised from the various British possessions in East Africa from 1902 until independence in the 1960s. It performed both military and internal security functions within the East African colonies as well as external service as recorded hereafter. Rank and file were Africans called askaris, while most officers were seconded from British Army regiments. When raised there were some Sudanese officers in the Uganda-raised battalions and towards the end of British colonial rule African officers were commissioned in the various battalions." #WhiteHistoryMonth #WHM2023 #EyesOnTheLiez #ColonialRegiment #BritishColonialism #WW1 #Yurugu #WeSickBoss #YuruguVirus #Sudan #Uganda #BritishEmpire 🪖 (at Great Britain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVcHMgufWl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
