Date: 1916-1918

From: Powles family : Papers

Reference: PA1-q-604

Description: Album is the first part of a record of the British campaign in north-eastern Egypt and Palestine from 1916-1918. It begins with views of Alexandria and Cairo where Australian and New Zealand Troops from Gallipoli began their rest, and recovery. There are views of the troops at the military training camp at Zeitoun where they were retrained and equipped for the Western Front and the defence of Egypt. In relation to the Palestine campaign, the album covers the driving of the Turks and their German allies out of north-eastern Egypt, the capture of the oases of Quatia and Romani, and the subsequent capture of El Arish. The album is a very good record of these events with much incidental detail. Cities, architecture, ruins, places, the locals, farming, crops and farm animals are all included. Most usefully it is a good record of the military operations from the perspective of a New Zealand participant Arrangement: Negatives relating to prints in this album should be among those registered at F 178589 1/2 to F 178976 1/2, and F 178993 1/2 to F 179124 1/2 Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
