“Water police.” Portrait of a man in uniform at a dockside. Lt. Irvine was posted to Yala River in Kenya for a period in 1918. ❧ 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.
