Soldiers on transport, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 1918

1918

“We took on a load of native soldiers being discharged, and made off for Kilindini the port for Mombasa…” Exterior view showing a large barge full of indigenous troops probably being transferred onto the S.S. Salamis (1899-1924) for transportation to Kenya. ❧ 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.
