Landscape, Itigi, Tanzania, July 1917

1917

“A native path in typical G.E.A. country. Not a drop of water, not a living soul – just sun!” Landscape view of rocky scrubland and a narrow footpath. This is possibly Itigi where Lt. Irvine was stationed for three weeks in July 1917. ❧ 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.
