Summary

Contact prints of scenes taken in the Middle East by an Australian soldier. One is of the grave of Trooper Francis Kelly, service #2462, 3rd Australian Light Horse; it is unclear whether he took the earlier photos or whether they were taken by another in the same unit. The photos includes a two storey buillding; Australian forces in action, an Army tent city, interior views of an Army hospital (possibly Abbassia), and two soldiers in Cairo in December 2017. The quality of the images is variable.
