Indian troops in East Africa. These photos show the large-scale production of Indian iron and steel by the well-known Indian firm of Tatas at work in the sheet mill. Like Tuaregs, the veiled men of the Sahara, they muffle their faces as much as they can and for the same reason the Tuaregs did, to shield their faces from the fierce heat of the desert sand blazing in the sunshine and the men of the sheet mill to protect themselves from the savage heat given off by the sheets of red hot metal which litter the floor of the mill
