Solider at Mealtime, Malawi, ca. 1914-1918

Black and white lantern slide showing a soldier walking away from a thatch hut. He carries a bowl in his hand a wears shorts and a ragged, light vest. A bottle can be seen on the ground behind him. Wood, possibly firewood, can be seen piled up by the side of the hut. This slide comes from a set on the activities of the King’s African Rifles battalions in Nyasaland. It was originally held by the Church of Scotland, and generated by J.W MacKay.

这幅黑白幻灯片（lantern slide）展现了一名士兵正远离一座茅草屋的场景：他手中捧着一只碗，身着短裤与破旧的浅色背心，身后地面上可见一只瓶子。茅屋旁还堆放着疑似柴火的木料。该幻灯片出自一组记录尼亚萨兰（Nyasaland）地区国王非洲步枪团（King’s African Rifles）营级部队活动的影像集，最初由苏格兰长老会（Church of Scotland）收藏，由J·W·麦凯（J.W MacKay）制作。
