"Denkmal der in der Tangaschlacht gefallenen Deutschen. Errichtet am Ort des heißesten Kampfes" ("Monument to the Germans who fell in the battle of Tanga. Erected at the place of the fiercest battle"). Wilhelm Guth (1888-1980), from Zeiskam in the Rhineland Palatinate, studied commerce before joining the Leipzig Mission as a pastor. He served in Gonja (southern Pare) from 1913 to 1917 and from 1927 to 1938. He left a large number of photographs, mostly taken by himself but including some by members of his family or fellow missionaries.
