Large game bird, Dodoma, Tanzania, July-November 1917

1917

“A pau [pou]! It took me four misses before I brought him down. English name is Greater Bustard.” Portrait of an indigenous man holding up a large bird. Lt. Irvine, stationed at the Carrier Hospital at Dodoma, participated in some hunting during his free time. ❧ 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.
