Harry,
Rose, Phyllis and Jack visited Egypt in 1937. Harry's sister, Elizabeth
(Isabelle) had married an Egyptian, Yahya Husein and moved to Egypt with
the children in 1931.
The film was first made by Jack in 9.5mm, then converted to 8mm and now in digital has suffered some degradation. However Jack left a few notes which have helped to make sense of most of the scenes.
