520 1 $a"No Insignificant Part: The Rhodesia Native Regiment and the East Africa Campaign of the First World War is the first history of the only primarily African military unit from Zimbabwe to fight in the First World War. Recruited from the migrant labour network, most African soldiers in the RNR were originally miners or farm workers from what are now Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, and Malawi. Like others across the world, they joined the army for a variety of reasons, chief among them a desire to escape low pay and horrible working conditions." "No Insignificant Part takes a new look at an old campaign and will appeal to scholars of African or military history interested in the First World War."--BOOK JACKET.
