“HMS Britannia, Our escort from S[ierra] Leone to Cape Town.” Seascape showing the HMS Britannia (1904-1918), near Cape Town, viewed from the SS Durham Castle. The Britannia was a King Edward VII class battleship which was running convoys in the Atlantic with the 9th Cruiser Squadron. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in East Africa. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
