“Then right down coast to Mozambique. Here is Mozambique island and castle. The Chief Engineer and I went ashore to shoot but saw nothing, but we got one snap-shot, here it is.” Portrait of Lt. Irvine, ships medical officer, and the Chief Engineer, of the S.S. Salamis; a troop transport from Dar es Salaam to Portuguese East 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
