EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1936, showcasing a group of men who were part of the esteemed British South Africa Police. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, but its significance in capturing a moment in history cannot be understated. Dressed in their distinctive military uniforms, these brave individuals stand proudly outside a building in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Their green jackets and jodhpurs exude authority and professionalism as they hold their rifles with confidence. The helmet-clad soldier at the forefront commands attention with his legs apart and arms firmly gripping his weapon. The photograph is part of "Military Uniforms of the British Empire Overseas" a book published by John Player & Sons in 1936. This collection aimed to showcase the diverse attire worn by soldiers across Britain's vast empire during that era. Beyond being an artistic representation, this image symbolizes colonialism and its impact on law enforcement within African countries.
