Description
“And again, at another time, I was sent up personally to take over a German hospital. How all the Germans are found at work in their ‘dressing room’ when we got there.” Group portrait of medical staff gathered around an operating table outside under a canopy. This is possibly at Nanungu where a German Hospital was discovered on 19 May 1918. ❧ 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.
