Sunday school class and church, Kikuyu, Kenya, 1918

1918

“Another S.S. [Sunday School] class with church behind.” Exterior view of the Watson-Scott Memorial Church with a class of children sitting outside. The Church and windows were dedicated to Dr Ruffelle Scott and Reverend Thomas Watson. Lt. Irvine was posted near Kisumu and visited the Church of Scotland mission at Kikuyu. ❧ 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.
