“Machine gun class at 3/3rd Depot, Dar es Salaam” Landscape view showing groups of soldiers standing behind machine guns in scrubland. The soldiers are from the 3/3rd King’s African Rifles and they are training on Vickers and Lewis machine guns. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in German East Africa and Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
