Carpenter’s house at Itigi, Tanzania, July 1917

1917

“Carpenter’s house at Itigi where I lived 3 weeks when I went to relieve him, first on going up country.” Exterior view of a two storey house with a figure on the balcony. Captain Geoffrey Douglas Hale Carpenter (1882-1953) was a doctor and entomologist and spent his military service with the Uganda Medical Service and was an expert on tropical diseases. ❧ 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.
