“More Mombasa views. Door of the old Castle (originally Portuguese). Note spikes on door and inscription above. Prison Warder at door.” Exterior view of a prison with an armed guard standing at an open door. Lt. Irvine was stationed in Kenya for a period before returning to the campaign in Portuguese East Africa. ❧ 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.
