Summary
Photograph in an album created by Sergeant John Lord documenting his time in Egypt during World War I, late 1915 to mid 1916. The album was created in a lined notebook/diary type book and John Lord completely filled the album with photographs. All of the photographs are numbered and in pencil he has written captions around many of the photographs. A few of the early photographs are dated 1915. Many of the photographs depict camps, local people, street scenes, fellow soldiers at rest, horses, ambulances, hospitals and camels.
Description of Content
A nurse sheltering from the sun under a black umbrella is walking towards us, away from a line of open-sided wooden wagon field ambulances. Two of the ambulances, at least, have two horses in harness. The ambulances are parked under a row of street trees. The canvas-covered ambulances have their rear ends open and extended - perhaps for stretches.
