Title: Drum Magazine social history photographs, Ghana edition 279 Description: Part-Time Soldier: Civilians showing one another how to use a rifle. You can see them every time there is a ceremonial parade, the men in the grey outfit. They march along in military fashion, rifles and equipment complete, behind men of the Armed Forces.

The Ghana Army Volunteer Force end each year of training by organising "war camps" under very severe conditions. This year's camp exercises were held at Bortianor, a village about twenty four miles from Accra, off the Accra-Winneba road.
