§ Sir R. Glynasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what records there are of the King's African Rifles, to in- 148W clude the date of formation and the period since when it has been part of the British Army.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsVarious East African units were formed under local legislation from about 1890 onwards and were subsequently merged into the King's African Rifles. The first recorded battle honours are in 1900. There are records of the force in the War Office, the Colonial Office and the various East African territories but it would not be possible without considerable research to say just what records exist. If the hon. Gentleman will inform me what particular point or points he has in mind, I will do my best to help him. The King's African Rifles are not part of the British Army.
