Description
Heliopolis, Egypt. 25 December 1915. A drunken soldier, holding a bottle in one hand and another tucked into the pocket of his coat, stands in the back of a cart while appearing to conjure four balloons in front of him with a stick held in his other hand. The original caption reads `This chap is not giving a recruiting speech. Had a little too much on Xmas day. He landed back from Cairo in the mail waggon with balloons tied all round the waggon, but, as soon as the boys saw them, they took him down for them leaving him only the ones you can see here.'
