Nigerian Brigade in German East Africa
Nigerian Brigade in German East Africa
Remembering some of the Nigerians and Europeans who were decorated for their service to the Nigerian Brigade in German East Africa. The Nigeria Regiment was part of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF) and during 1916 they completed their involvement in the Cameroon Campaign. The Nigerian Brigade overseas contingent comprised volunteers from the Nigeria Regiment. They arrived in Dar Es Salaam in December 1916 where they joined other Allied Forces already fighting there. By the end of November 1917 the territory of German East Africa was declared a British and Allied Protectorate. The officers and men remembered in this community are listed (together with citations) in the book 'With the Nigerians in German East Africa' by Captain W D Downes M C. ISBN 978-1-78331-199-6
