Portrait of an old man, Morogoro region, Tanzania, November 1917

1917

“An old native gentleman, who visited us one day.” Portrait on an indigenous man with a pipe and walking stick. This is possibly taken near Matikira where Lt. Irvine was stationed in November 1917. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in German East Africa and Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
