Alexandria & then Cairo, where a custom building was designed & opened in
1910.  Davies Bryan of Cairo was the pride of Emad El Din Street, where the

Saturday 26th December

At work during morning with Specialists class, then went into Cairo re British Warm and a cap. Called at Phillips shop, but finally decided to get what I required at Davies Bryan & Co. Returned to camp at 3 PM.

Major Rabett came over to dinner, and we had an interesting yarn about old times.
