Cecil Rhodes House, Cape Town, South Africa, June 1917

“Cecil Rhodes House nr. Cape Town, front.” Exterior view of Groote Schuur and the gardens with British officers standing outside. The building is in the Cape Dutch style and situated at Rondebosch. The photograph was taken during a sightseeing trip by RAMC officers during a stopover in Cape Town on their way to German East Africa. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in East Africa. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya
