Mortar round exploding, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, 1918

1918

“Stokes exploding.” Landscape view looking over a lake towards the explosion of a mortar round during training. The soldiers then gathered the fish killed by the explosion. ❧ 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.
