Tale of Siege and Rescue Amid Egyptian Streets
A first person narrator recalls a bombardment and street fighting in Alexandria during a siege. He describes guiding a captain and a rescue of two British women, dodging gunfire, braving crumbling buildings, and the tense moments until a patrol arrived. The account blends war memory with a fading romance and later theater anecdotes.
