- Notes:
-
- "A guide produced specifically for the troops, and definately not your average tourist fare (for instance, the first advertisement is for a local shipping company offering 'special rates for transport of dead bodies'). Certainly, there are potted histories of Egypt, Cairo and the Pyramids, useful information regarding dragomans, donkeys and similar forms of transport, and other routine matters ... pages on the Mohamedan Religion, and the sections on health (pages 10-16) are stronger stuff." --Michael Treloar, catalogue for the sale of the Stuart Braga Collection of Australian Military History, 2 November 2014
