A German Askari in the 1st World War in German East Afrika
Without the support of his native troops, the so-called Askaris, the German commander of East Africa, the famous General von Lettow-Vorbeck, would have never been able to hold on until the end of the war in 1918. The photo shows one of these soldiers from the German Schutztruppe (protectorate force) with the imperial flag in his hand. Undated picture. 01.01.1914-31.12.1918
