The Askari Monument or Dar es Salaam African Memorial[1] in Kivukoni Ward in Ilala District of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, is a memorial to the askari (African soldiers) who fought in the British campaign against the German Army in East Africa in World War I.
It was realised in the United Kingdom by British sculptor James Alexander Stevenson [sw], who worked for Westminster's Morris Bronze Founders.
Before being sent to Dar es Salaam, the statue was exhibited at the Royal Academy, receiving critical praise.
The English inscription includes "If you fight for your country even if you die your sons will remember your name", which is attributed to Rudyard Kipling.
When the British entered Dar es Salaam in 1916, they removed this statue along with those of Karl Peters and Otto von Bismarck.
