Black and white lantern slide showing an African soldier (known as Askari) in the black fez of the Nyasaland battalions of the King's African Rifles. The man stands barefoot with a long, weather-beaten military coat buttoned (although three buttons are missing). He smiles and stands next to a woman, possibly his wife, who wears traditional dress and carries a large straw basket on her head. This slide comes from a set on the activities of the King’s African Rifles battalions in Nyasaland. It was originally held by the Church of Scotland, and generated by J.W MacKay.
