“A Belgian Congo porter belonging to Belgians. He has a R. Catholic charm on his chest.” Portrait of an indigenous man, employed as a carrier for the Belgian military, with ritual scarification around the face and body. Lt. Irvine was stationed at a carrier hospital at Dodoma. ❧ 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.
