Below is a map of Egypt. The dashlines I have made on the map show us where Thomas travelled in Egypt from late 1915 to mid 1916. The numbers on the map mark the major locations where he was based with the 29th Battalion. In number sequence, these Egyptian towns, campsites and outposts are:
1. Suez
2. Heliopolois (Aerodrome camp) near Cairo
3. Serepeum
4. Gebel Habeta, 9 miles east of Serapeum
5. Tel el Kebir
6. Ferry Post
7. Ismailia (Moascar camp)
7. Ismailia (Moascar camp)
8. Alexandria
Use the map as a reference guide for when we track Thomas' journey around Egypt. If you want to enlarge the map, just double click on it.
