Description
This is a 1945 British army Survey of Egypt city plan or map of Cairo, Egypt made for British use in World War II. Created as a resource for British soldiers stationed in Cairo, the map offers remarkable insights into British military life in Cairo during the War. Color coding defines zones permitted to British personnel and those that were strictly off limits. The white zones at the center of the map highlight where British soldiers could move freely, while pink zones were as out-of-bounds . Red buildings in-bounds highlight sites of interest for British personnel, including cinemas, the Royal Opera House, and numerous clubs. Other sites include the Y.M.C.A., the Royal Air Force Post Office, the Headquarters of British Troops in Egypt, and the British barracks. An index in the upper left lists the clubs, institutes, churches, museums, cinemas, theaters, and other important locations, along with the grid location of each.
