Burnt-out buildings, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, April-July 1918

1918

“A burnt-out Portuguese home.” Landscape view showing partially destroyed walls of a building near a dirt road. Capt. Irvine had been posted with the 4/4 KAR column trailing German forces in Portuguese East Africa. ❧ This image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During the war he met with missionaries in East Africa which in turn lead to him joining the mission at Tumutumu and then establishing the mission at Chogoria, both in Kenya.
