#VintageNairobi: The war memorial in honour of #KAR #WW1 native askaris over the years.

1st pic 1928 (est.) ; 2nd pic 1936; 3rd pic 1962; 4th pic (present time, courtesy of M. Muriuki).

Kenyatta Ave. was previously known as Sixth Street, then Delamere Avenue.
This memorial, of course, is found along Nairobi’s Kenyatta Avenue.
I guess the bazaar-like building in the background of the 1928 pic was situated near or at the spot presently occupied by Town House, which hosts Trattoria Restaurant 😀.
