4/4 KAR and officers, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, August 1918

1918

Group portrait of the men of the 4/4 King’s African Rifles with officers kneeling and machine gunners at the front. The men were part of a column 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.
