Gathering for embarkation, Durban, South Africa, July 1917

1917

“Parading at 7.30. This morning we left Durban.” Crowd scene of officers and soldiers gathering for parade at the rest camp in Durban. Lt. A C Irvine, RAMC, was about to board the SS Ingoma for transportation to Dar es Salaam in German East Africa. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in East Africa. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
