OVER the years I have arranged for many groups to go back to the Egyptian Canal Zone and several of your readers have joined us on these visits. I have now stopped organising groups to the Canal Zone but I have received many letters enquiring if it is possible to visit the war cemeteries in the Cairo area especially Heliopolis and El-Alamein as well as Moascar – Fayid – Tel El-Kebir.
There are at least five War Cemeteries in the Cairo vicinity as well as the ones mentioned above and so I have decided to arrange a group visit to Cairo.
I would also be willing to take photos on behalf of your readers of graves of their friends and loved ones if they would like me to (complimentary to your readers).
Your readers are invited to join our group and if they contact me I will send full details of itinerary and costs, etc, or requests for photos direct to me.
The reunion group visit is Wednesday, June 1 to Friday, June 10.
