Troop column on the road, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, August 1918

Landscape view of bush country with a line of troops on a road disappearing into the distance. The troops are part of a column consisting of the 4/4 KAR and a Nigerian Brigade heading north to Port Amelia. ❧ This image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During the war he met with missionaries in East Africa which in turn lead to him joining the mission at Tumutumu and then establishing the mission at Chogoria, both in Kenya.
