Sniper victim, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, August 1918

1918

“A sniper’s victim –through the lung.” Group portrait of a medical officer examining a wounded soldier on a stretcher. Capt. Irvine was attached, as a medical officer, to a column of the 4/4 KAR and the Nigerian Brigade trailing German forces in Portuguese East Africa. ❧ This image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During the war he met with missionaries in East Africa which in turn lead to him joining the mission at Tumutumu and then establishing the mission at Chogoria, both in Kenya.
