Serviceman Posed on Camel at the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, WWII Era
A serviceman poses for a souvenir photograph atop a camel before the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx of Giza, Egypt. Photographs of this kind were common among Allied personnel who passed through Cairo while being transported to and from postings in the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II, and this image likely originates from that same personal collection despite its current filing location.
