Summary
One of 139 photographs in an album from World War I likely to have been taken by Captain Edward Albert McKenna. The photographs include the 7th Battalion training in Mena Camp, Egypt, and sight-seeing.
Image of the Nile River, this time taken down the river rather than from the bank suggesting the image was either taken from a boat or whilst the photographer stood on a bridge.
Description of Content

Black and white silver gelatin photographic print.
