German camp, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, August 1918

“A deserted German encampment.” Exterior view of a deserted camp with temporary structures in disarray. Capt. Irvine was attached to a military column, as a medical officer, which was trailing the von Lettow forces across Portuguese East Africa. ❧ 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.

「一处废弃的德军营地」。本图像为一处废弃营地的外景，营内临时搭建的设施杂乱无章。欧文上尉以军医身份隶属于一支军事纵队，该纵队正尾随冯·莱托（von Lettow）所率部队在葡属东非境内转战。❧ 本图像出自一本影集，该影集记录了阿奇博尔德·克莱夫·欧文（Archibald Clive Irvine，1893-1974）随英国皇家陆军医疗兵团（Royal Army Medical Corps）在葡属东非的战时经历。战时欧文在东非与当地传教士结识，此番机缘促使他先后加入肯尼亚境内的图穆图穆（Tumutumu）传教团，并随后创办了肯尼亚境内的乔戈里亚（Chogoria）传教团。
