Disembarkation of Troops in Egypt

On their disembarkation at Alexandria from Crete the medical-units along with other troops were moved by rail to Amiriya Camp. Here they were rested and received issues of fresh clothing as well as chocolate, cigarettes, and toilet hold-alls provided by the New Zealand Red Cross Society and National Patriotic Fund Board. From Amiriya the troops went to Helwan Camp, where considerable reorganisation of the Division was carried out.
