Feluccas Moored on the Nile River, Cairo, Egypt -- Wartime Transit Photograph

A view of feluccas moored on the Nile River, likely photographed at Cairo, Egypt, by Allied personnel in transit to the China-Burma-India theater. Wartime travel through Egypt and the Suez route was a common experience for troops and airmen bound for South and East Asia, and many kept personal snapshots of these journeys alongside their theater service photographs.
