1963 - Ian Smiths Black Troops Most of the Rhodesian Armed Forces are black, and it is there men who are bearing the brunt of the war along the frontier with Mozambique. When our photographer asked the troops, why they joined some said that their relatives had been killed by the nationalist guerillas and wanted revenge, but most admitted it was simply a matter of money.
