Cutting timber at Mafuga sawmill. Millers use industrial machinery to cut large softwood timbers into planks at a new sawmill in Mafuga Forest. The photographer, District Forest Officer James Lang Brown, comments: "The Sikh millers brought machinery more fitted to huge hardwood logs than a modern softwood mill, but it worked... These trees have been felled with hand axes. Hand saws were too small and we had no chain saws". Mafuga, Kigezi, South West Uganda, September 1963., West (Uganda), Uganda, Eastern Africa, Africa.
