Description

A panorama made up of six individual exposures of Port Said. In this panorama the British 31st General Hospital that was set up in a huge warehouse is on the right with two dredges used to maintain the Suez Canal in the basin in front of the hospital. The city of Port Said is beyond the other harbour buildings on the left. The 31st General Hospital arrived from England in December 1915.
