“We had rather a hectic time setting out to Yala, as the Oxen were not fit for the job. But first I must apologise for the order these pictures are in. The middle one is a view on the railway on a big curve. In the distance is an iron railway shed & all around is typical game country.” Landscape view with rolling hills taken from a train. Lt. Irvine spent one and a half months at the military post at Yala River. ❧ 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
