help identify pict German Afrika
« on: September 06, 2019, 07:51:25 PM »
Hello
please as title said i ask a little help to identify exactly the nationalities of warriors, tribesmen  and soldiers on the pict...i find it on the web labelled "Germans showing performance of weapons to Ngoni"...well i'm quite sure that the tribesmen are from East Africa thanks to their toga type clothes...maybe they could be Ugandans, Hehe or even Ngoni more dressed than usual...but the askaris do not seem to be Germans DOA Schutztruppe ones...certainly not Wissmantruppe Askaris and maybe not classical post 1898 Askaris with tall iconic covered fez and neckcloth...if they are in any case Germans i could be happy..as that means that also generic Foundry type askaris with red/dark classical fez could be used and maybe also as proxies for more than a single nationality..
the wheels mounted MG also seem interesting
thanks in advance
