This is a photo of the Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya in 1951. The Mau Mau Rebellion was a military conflict in Kenya during the 1950s and early 1960s. The photo portrays the Kikuyu Home Guard going through exercises for battle. There were officially more than 12,000 deaths throughout the rebellion. Because some went missing and their bodies were never found, there were unofficially 20,000 deaths. The rebellion was between the British army and the Kikuyu Home Guard vs the Mau Mau. The Mau Mau consisted of Kikuyu anti-colonialists.
