  Alexandria, and got to Cairo by train a

  we had a short run to Heliopolis where

  we detrained. We marched from the station

  ready for us.         On our train journey we

  passed through lovely green cultivated

  country, and several small towns.

  farming class were built of mud. Just small

  cabins, where you would hardly think a

  goat would live.         I have been in

  Heliopolis very often, as it is almost by

  the side of our camp.       It is a lovely

  little city, built on the edge of the desert.

  the hotels is supposed to have been the largest

  a military hospital.    There is a very good
