“I was called out to a railway accident at 12 midnight – a rain washout [of] the line. 3 people badly injured – that’s all!” Exterior view of a railway engine lying on its side having come off the tracks. This is probably near Matikira where Lt. Irvine was stationed. ❧ 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.
