Boys Looking at Train, Malawi, ca. 1914-1918

Black and white lantern slide showing an older boy wearing a wrap around his waist carrying a small child on his back. The boys look at a train on a line in which the safari helmets of European military officers can be seen, probably from the King's African Rifles. The older boy wears beads around his neck and a bracelet on his waist. 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.
