Mozambique island, Mozambique, 1918

1918

“Then right down coast to Mozambique. Here is Mozambique island and castle. The Chief Engineer and I went ashore to shoot but saw nothing…” Seascape showing the fortress on the island. Probably taken from the S.S. Salamis a troop transport on which Lt. Irvine was a medical officer. ❧ 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.
