Description

Australian soldiers standing around in the courtyard of the Mosque of Mahomet Ali, Cairo. This photograph was taken by 607 Private William H Fell, AIF, who died of wounds on 4 May 1918. Fell's negatives, taken throughout the war, were forwarded to the Sydney photographer Harold Cazneaux, for whom Fell had been a studio assistant before the war. Cazneaux printed Fell's negatives.
