“The 3/3 KAR. HQ. mess.” Group portrait of British officers on the steps of a military building. Lt. Irvine stands on the back left. The British officers are connected to the African Native Medical Corps (ANMC) and 3/3 King’s African Rifles (KAR) and include Capt. Tomblings, Adjutant of the ANMC, and Capt. R Y Stones, who worked as a missionary throughout Africa. ❧ 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
