Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Grenville Doke (Doak) Sq 34 (RAF VR) and Wilbur Wannenburg after VJ day (Aug 1945) at Almaza SAAF Base (Transit) Camp near Heliopolis, outside Cairo

From website:

"I was at Almaza (arrived November 1944) on the way to Italy. (Picture - Grenville Doke and me dressed suitably for an Egyptian summer day). After the war in Europe ended we went back to Almaza, to join the Squadron going out to the Far East but the atomic bombs were dropped, the Japanese surrendered and we were sent to Shandur to make room at Almaza for the personnel being sent home. I stayed at Shandur for about five months and we did not know at the time that the Libs had left Celone and were operating from Shallufa, not too far away."
