Hello,

 

who knows anything about the US military's actions during the native riots or World War I? In connection with the German Schutztruppe, period about 1902-1920.

 

Maybe military advisers or military observers?

 

regards

I will have to dig out my books on the Great War in Africa to confirm but I believe the US had military observers there prior to entry. I know the US had observers in South Africa during the Boer War.

 

The military action in SW Africa during WWI was quick. East Africa saw protracted fighting.

Hello lettow,

 

Only today did I read your answer. Did you find something in your books?
