Description: "Die Schüler der Swahilischule in Mbozi spiel. Fussball." ("Schoolchildren of the Swahili school in Mbozi are p[laying] football."). Children are hardly recognizable because they are running. In the background large trees.

Having married Hildegard Marie Lenz in 1921 and served in South Africa (West) from 1922 to 1927, he moved to East Africa, where he served in Mbozi till 1929 and in Utengule till 1939.
