Also recorded are the rest and recreational facilities at the camp, as well as those at Helwan Camp, and trips to the pyramids.

Others are of nurses and patients at the British General Hospital at Geneifa, and the New Zealand General Hospital at Helwan where Crump went as a result of contracting pneumonia and developing infections in his wounds.
