Description
Page 65 of an album of photographs either taken or collected by Roy Cecil Phillipps (later Squadron Leader R.C Phillipps MC & Bar DFC) when employed by the pastoralist firm Connor, Doherty & Durack Ltd in the Kimberley region of Western Australia from 1912 until soon after his enlistment in the AIF in April 1915. The photographs were sent to his mother in Perth, Mrs Cecil R. Phillipps, who arranged them in an album and wrote the accompanying captions. Images include photomechanical prints of Cairo; the Monument of the first Aviateur, Heliopolis; "officers' school of Instruction, Heliopolis", and unidentifed men observing a First World War commemorative monument with mounted gun.
