READ BELOW TO DIG DEEPER INTO THE DATES THAT DEFINE OUR FREEDOM
1914-1918: During World War 1, many Sierra Leoneans saw service alongside British and imperial forces in the Togoland, Cameroons and Mesopotamia campaigns, both as fighting soldiers and in transport and labouring roles
1924: The 1924 constitution extended the jurisdiction of the Legislative Council and Executive Council to include the protectorate. In effect, this motivated the legal understanding for a united Sierra Leone.
1937: In 1937 a “Native Administration” system, patterned after Lord Frederick Lugard’s indirect rule system in northern Nigeria, was introduced into the Sierra Leone Protectorate.
1939-1945: Sierra Leone remained a British colony throughout World War II. As such, it fought alongside the Allies against the Axis. No large scale battles or military action took place in or around Sierra Leone during the war. However, the colony played a critical role in supporting the Allies throughout the conflict, with Freetown acting as an important convoy station.
1946: Established in 1946 along with the Protectorate Assembly, the District Councils consisted primarily of all Paramount Chiefs together with one member elected from each Tribal Authority in the district concerned; they were chaired by a District Commissioner.
