Pte Frank Kingsley-Norris (Lilydale), 1^st Light Horse Field Ambulance: In an excerpt from his auto-biography ‘No Memories for Pain’: ‘Along the pavements in Cairo were small tables and chairs, but no sooner would one sit down and order a drink than an endless stream of fly specked touts would gather and, before our ordered drinks arrived, press sherbet and gazooza upon us. Others brought food, fruit, carpets, antikers, chairs, couches, fly whisks, rhinoceros hide whips, jewellery and dirty postcards. There leering pests were the worst of the lot and the hardest to get rid of, except the baksheesh boys holding out their filthy hands’.
