Album of Photos taken in the Suez Canal Zone.  Page 5

The names of people who supplied the photos are now being included under the photos.  Photos with the initials C.D. underneath are my own,
those without a name means I have probably mislaid or lost the record of who supplied it. - Sorry about that folks!
If you see one of your photos in the album and your name isn't given underneath it, please tell me.
