KAR and East African Army badges
 

A group of badges found recently. I am somewhat familiar with the King's African Rifles however not so with the East African forces. Where do they fit in along the continuum of British Colonial Forces? In regards to the time period served and ethnic "country of origin" backgrounds of the troops?

thanks
Jack

African collection
 

Jack,

A great collection to have, excellent stuff.

Rob

A great collection indeed Jack.

I have one of the 4th KAR but with the crown above. So perhaps your crown (top center) would have been worth above those badges?

Cheerio,

Roy

Thanks Rob and Roy for the positive comments
