In Word War I alone, according to the CWGC, British forces employed around 50,000 African soldiers and more than one million African “carriers”, or porters who transported war materials.

African soldiers from East and West Africa were fighting alongside others from the Union of South Africa, Britain, India, Australia and New Zealand.
