Hospital ship, Indian Ocean 1918

“We envied the comforts of this hospital ship.” Portrait of a British hospital ship and two barges in the foreground. Probably taken from the S.S. Salamis (1899-1924) by Lt. Irvine. ❧ 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.
