Letter from Sergeants Groff on Egyptian camp life and travels
An Entraot from 14 1915 reports Sergeant Groff writing to Mr R J McDonald from Matadi Egypt. He describes camp life on a dusty edge of the Bashers, Malach behind, and a view of palm groves, gardens, and distant Napoleon forts. He recounts donkey rides to Cairo, Nile winds, fields of clover and barley, water wheels driven by a blindfolded bullock, local markets, and lively streets with crowds from many continents. He notes the pyramids near and the city’s role as a hospital and base for troops, mentions a library, lectures, and debates in camp, and finishes with a fond update on health and morale.
