Kikuyu Porters from Kenya, Zambezia, Mozambique, July 1918

1918

“Some Wakikuyu porters.” Group portrait of members of the carrier Corps from the Kikuyu country in British East Africa [Central province, Kenya]. Capt. Irvine would start working with the Kikuyu at the Tumutumu mission in 1919. ❧ 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.
