Wedding of Dr Jones, Kikuyu, Kenya, 12 August 1920

1920

“Christian mothers and their kiddies. Special rig-out for Dr Jones wedding.” Group portrait of two women and three children dressed in white. Dr Stanley Ellis Jones was stationed at Kikuyu from 1914-1924 and married Elizabeth Dorothy Burnett from Echt, Aberdeenshire. Dr Irvine was working at Tumutumu at this time. ❧ 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.
