Head of the column, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, April 1918

1918

“Head of our column.” Group portrait of soldiers stopping on a trail in two columns, Capt. Irvine stands on the left. This is the 4/4 King’s African Rifles and the Nigerian Brigade column who were trailing the German forces South, through 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.
