“Kavirondos going out to bathe.” Exterior view showing a beach with men running into the surf. The Kavirondo were from western Kenya beside Lake Victoria and many worked as porters for the Carrier Corps. Lt. Irvine was later stationed at Yala River in the Kavirondo country. ❧ 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
