Porters on the move, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, April-July 1918

1918

“On the march.” Landscape view showing porters and soldiers on a track above a collapsed embankment. The Carriers are supporting a column of the 4/4 KAR and Nigerian Brigade 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.
