3 November 1915 - transferred to Maadi Camp, Cairo

A.G. Adams was transferred from Mex Camp to Maadi Camp on 3 November 1915.

AWM service records.
Note:
Maadi is a south-eastern suburb of Cairo, on the east bank of the Nile river.


This excellent map of the Cairo region shows the location of the Maadi camp.




You will note on the bottom left of the map the Pyramids are shown and nearby is Mena where the Australians camped before embarking for Gallipoli. Mena camp was the location of the Infantry and Maadi Camp (on the opposite side of the Nile) was the camp for the Light Horse regiments.
