in the first world war, the british forces in africa represented a racial mixture, with the whites often referring contemptuously to their indian colleagues as "coolies". in 1916, the 6th south african infantry went into action in kenya, and were put to flight by a bayonet charge by german askaris. while the white troops fled, the 130th baluchis held their ground and saved the day.
