Force Publique Belgian Congo
A photo print I had made off of a colorized glass slide. This would be pre 1900. At some point in the early 1900's the Local Force Publique uniforms went to a khaki color.
Indigenous members with flintlocks and barefoot. Was pleased with the clarity of the print. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4757785b_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5665e71c_b.jpg |
