Girls’ class, Butere, Nyanza province, Kenya, 1918

1918

“A class of Mau girls – very shy!” “ Another day Tarr & I walked over to Archdeacon Owen’s at Butere.” Exterior view showing a large group of girls sitting on some open ground. The CMS Butere mission was founded by Walter Chadwick (1874-1917) and his sister, Jane Elizabeth Chadwick (1869-1940), established the girls’ school at Butere. ❧ 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.
