Summary[edit]

Description
English: 11th Hussars-Helmieh Camp, Cairo 1937: The regiment had been in England from 1926 to 1934, a very busy time, converting the regiment to armoured cars. On 15th November 1934 they sailed from Southampton to Alexandria in Egypt. They were to spend the next 4 years alternating between Egypt and Palestine. These years aclimatised the regiment to hot conditions. Little did they know that this was to prove so useful in the first 3 or 4 years of World War 2. They were stationed at Helmieh near Cairo under the command of Lt-Col John Galbraith. Lt-Col John Galbraith and Major JFB Combe lead the regiment on parade at the Annual Inspection. The uniform worn by the men is not exactly comfortable for the climate in Egypt.
