Description

Collection relating to the service of 320 Corporal (Cpl) Ernest Herbert Jones, 1st Field Artillery Brigade, Army Medical Corps Detail, AIF. The print is inscribed with an original caption written by Cpl Jones. It reads, "See the many minarettes reaching skywards especially in the distance were the mosque Mohamet Aly (Muhammad Ali) and Rafari (Al-Rifa'i Mosque) and Sultan Hassan (Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hasan) are to be seen. This is taken from the blue mosque in the heart of the Arab quarter of Cairo and in the direction of the citadel. Being panoramic, it displays well the crowded dwellings of a dark race; yet one from which all our enlightenment is borrowed. Interesting, alluring, awful, repelling, extremely beautiful, extremely primitive. This is Arabic Cairo."
