The print captures a significant moment during World War II, as East African Chiefs embark on a journey to the Burma Front. In response to a request from military authorities in Burma, sixteen African Chiefs were invited to tour Ceylon, India, and the war-torn Burma Front. Their purpose was to visit their tribesmen who were serving with the British Forces. One of these esteemed chiefs is Chief Kalumbu, depicted in this image wearing the iconic green battledress bush hat issued by the military. The photograph serves as a reminder of the diverse contributions made by individuals from all corners of the globe during times of conflict. Taken on June 17-18,1945, this snapshot encapsulates not only an important historical event but also highlights the unity and camaraderie that transcends borders and cultures in times of crisis.
