Lantern slide. Showing a view of Cairo. 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 'mahmed Ali Mosque and Citadel at Cairo. The two minerets rise to a height of 150 feet and in the courtyard is a well 300 feet deep and level with the Nile. The interior is lit by 1000 electric lights and has a huge chandelier of bronze hanging from the Centre dome given by Louis 14th France who also gave a clock of solid bronze to be seen in the courtyard'. This view is similar to EC1794.
Original drawing of Frank Gilbertson by Harold Morgan (newspaper cartoonist of the “Cambria Daily Leader” and later “The South Wales Daily Post”) “regarded as more typical of him than any of the few photographs he ever permitted” [23].
Frank warned of serious economic problems on the horizon as the artificial prosperity of wartime gave way to normal international trading competition in peacetime. He appealed for cooperation from all sides of industry in meeting the reconstruction challenges ahead.
