Friday 23 July, 1915

Arrived at Alexandria at 4.30, berthed alongside the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers later the Connaught Rangers came into port.

The natives get dirtier & lower in cast all the way along, the best class of Natives are seen at Suez, at Port Said, they are much the same only dirtier & at Alexandria they are just scum.

We only managed to get onto the wharf & saw nothing of the town.

We left for Cairo at 8.30 & arrived at 3 a.m.

When we got into camp we slept on the ground just in our ranks.

We are camped at Heliopolis 8 miles from Cairo, you can see the Cheops Pyramids from here.
