The Askari Monument, which is a bronze statue of a soldier holding a rifle with a bayonet was built in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania in memory of the fallen. Unveiled in 1927, it is located in the center of downtown Dar and it stands on a pedestal. The pedestal has a plaque with scriptures in Swahili and English and is a part of three Askari Monuments, all unveiled in the same year, dedicated to the local African soldiers who lost their lives in World War I.
