*Also see [[East Africa#External links|External links]], below.
*Officers will generally be mentioned in the ''London Gazette'', and British ''Army List''s. It appears they are more likely to be mentioned in the official War Office publications ''Quarterly'' and ''Monthly Army List''s, or listed with more detail, compared with the commercial ''Army List''s. For more details of these publications, see [[British Army#Records|British Army - Records]]. As an (online) example: September 1919 ''Monthly List'', under "Special Lists", lists King's African Rifles officers in Staff, 1st-7th Regiments, Signal Company and Pay Department.<ref>[https://digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/archive/123797119 September 1919 ''Monthly List''], page 2518 digital.nls.uk.</ref>
*A researcher found an officer of the Uganda Rifles 1901-2 mentioned in [[The National Archives]] record "Africa: Protectorate staff lists (East Africa, Uganda, Somali Coast, Central Africa, King's African Rifles), 1896-1905 FO 403/556"<ref>LeoHickman.
