Moreover the efforts of the Crown Colonies were far greater than were usually réalised. to every part of the Empire the whites had contributed as tigh as any coununity in the world. Over two thirds of the males in East Africa, also Rhodesin, took the field. The combatant, native troops were considerable and their ighting value was recognised by all the commanding generals. concerned The West Africa forces, the King's African Rifles and the West Indies regiment totalled 50,000 còm-* batants and over half a million carriers. Other auxiliários were raised to African plonies. Morcover the native chiefs to the humblest folk everywhere larised gifts towards Bed" Cross and other funds. All the Colonies had substantially contributed to the cost of the war from revenue, incurring liability larger than prudence allowed. Therefore he hoped this would be remembered when re-development and reconstruction in the Colonies was being, considered...
