Heliopolis, Egypt. c. 1916. Elevated view of approximately fifteen tents in the grounds of Heliopolis Palace occupied by No. 1 Australian General Hospital (1AGH). The tents were erected all around the grounds as space inside the building became scarce. They are dwarfed by a multistorey building across the street from the gardens. The original caption, by 8932 Driver Jack (John) McKenzie, 20th Australian Army Service Corps (AASC), reads `A building in Heliopolis facing the Palace hospital. It was taken by my friend Wallace (8990 Private Arthur Wallace, 20th AASC) while visiting the dentist in the hospital. The tents are in the hospital grounds. Our camp is only a mile away directly behind the building.'
