Army column on the move, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, April-July 1918

1918

Landscape view of bush country with a column of soldiers and carriers walking towards, and up, a hill. The men are probably part of the Fitzcol consisting of the 4/4 KAR and Nigerian Brigade and supported by the Carrier Corps. Capt. Irvine was attached to the column as a medical officer. ❧ 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.
