Description
“My sick parade. N.B. boy with medicines. Dressing going on in background. Patients are all carriers.” Crowd scene showing patients queuing up to be seen by the doctor. This is probably at Itigi where Lt. Irvine was sent to relieve Capt. Carpenter of the Uganda Medical Service. ❧ 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.
