CO 1069-139-3

  These sailors are clearly at Mombasa,Kenya

  You're correct. There is one of two possibilities. Firstly the photo comes from a collection of photos covering the other areas or secondly it may refer to where the folk in the photo hail from. All the locations mentioned are in Kenya (then and now) except for Liverpool. There are a number of LIverpools world-wide but I suspect the reference is to Liverpool in the UK. Nevertheless the location should only be Mombasa otherwise it is too confusing for catalouging purposes.

Bishop Peel of Mombasa (LOC)

  William G. Peel (d. 1916), born in India, son of an English army captain, first Bishop of the Diocese of Mombasa. In 1913-1914, he was involved in the Kikuyu Controversy, in which a conference and communion service held with Scots Church missionaries in British East Africa raised concerns of schism. newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/2092844
