Summary[edit]

Description
English: Caption: "This picture shows Australian troops, who are guarding the Suez Canal and other British positions in Egypt, resting after a march, in the shade of the Great Pyramids of Cheops and the Sphinx, which has looked down in silent scrutiny upon the soldiers of the Pharoahs, the Romans, Napoleon's troops and now the British."
Note: due to their headgear, Tam O’Shanter bonnets, this picture is probably Mislabeled and these men are part of 52 Lowland Division, Scottish Horse. They took heavy losses in Gallipoli and reformed to become the 13th Royal Highlanders (Black Watch) in Autumn of 1916
