Description
“Machine gun class at 3/3rd Depot, Dar es Salaam” Group portrait of two officers and nine soldiers of the 3/3rd King’s African Rifles sitting around a Lewis light machine gun being aimed by one soldier lying flat. ❧ 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.
