“Capt. Short & his platoon fording the Lurio River, on the return journey.” Landscape view of a river with a platoon of soldiers crossing. They are probably part of the 4/4 King’s African Rifles and part of the column to which Capt. Irvine was assigned. ❧ 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.
