Description

Lantern slide. Showing the Island of Philae. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. The notes from his lecture read 'THere we have the huge granite rocks that surround the island of Philae and half way up the watermark can easily be distinguished.'
