Hello rikk

Sorry, did not notice this post. There is a blog with KAR and early German askaris here - http://www.warfactory.co.uk/wp/2015/10/18/10mm-east-africa-british-and-german-askaris/

Can't find any pictures of the late Askaris, I imagine they are the same figures but with a floppy hat rather than fez. Would like to see a picture because I'm looking for troops I can use as Dutch KNIL and I think they could do the job. Otherwise I'd be looking at putting Boer heads on WW1 Middle East Imperials  .

Cheers
