SLA, SIERRA LEONE ARMY [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
| All the following pictures have been taken in Benguema training camp, 25 miles south-east of Freetown. Here, 1000-fresh recruits batches are trained by British Army instructors. They receive much more than basic training, coming to a complete training in 7 weeks. Apparently the British did not supply anything but fatigues and SLRs, self loading rifles. |
