Carriers crossing a river, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, 1918

1918

“Crossing a river bed.” Landscape view showing men of the Carrier Corps crossing a shallow river bed. The picture is from the time that Capt. Irvine spent in Portuguese East Africa with the Rose column and Fitzgerald column. ❧ 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.
