Description:
Original caption reads: "Guarding against possible enemy air attacks, British troops are training African natives in anti-aircraft units. The instructors, veterans of the Batlle of Britain, have found the natives apt students and cool under fire. An African unit is shown loading one of the 3.7 mm ack-ack guns under the supervision of British N.C.O.s and commissioned officers." Archivist note: It appears that the Office of War Information caption is incorrect, and this is a QF 3.7 inch (rather than millimeter) Anti-aircraft gun.
