Goose-stepping Askaris are on film in the TV series 'The First World War'.

The University of Frankfurt website has many photos as well: http://www.stub.bildarchiv-dkg.uni-frankfurt.de/

You are living in Germany..

The Bundesfilmarchiv, Berlin, offer a short film from 1915 of the Schutztruppe-DOA. Excerpts are offen used in TV-documentaries.

There is also a book called "The Battle For The Bundu" that has photographs. It's about the East African campaign during WW1. I found it a good read.
