Brief Description
Photographic postcard of an Arabian bazaar near Fort Napoleon in Alexandria, Egypt.
Unnumbered but appears to be the first of a series of four postcards of Alexandria sent to Henrietta Brady of Clive from her cousin Peter Brady who served with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in World War One.
Message reads: My (dear) Hett, Just a few more lines to let you know that I landed at the end of my destination quite all right. Well Hett we landed at Suez but I cannot tell you the name of camp, but it is out in the desert, in the sand and heat, I do not go much on the place at all. There are very few N.Z, mostly all Australians, I have only met one I knew and that was young Smith from Hastings, brother to Alf Smith. But he was telling us that Leon(?) Fail is here but has lost his stripes.
Displayed in an album compiled by Henrietta Brady.
