Description
“A squad of Indian engineers bridge making.” Exterior view showing men gathered at a clearing during the construction of a bridge. The men are probably from the 22nd Derajat Mountain Battery who were attached to the Fitzcol 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.
