During the First World War thousands of Australian soldiers had their photographs taken in front of the Pyramids or the Sphinx. 494 Lewis David Price and 497 Francis Archibald (Frank) Gilson both served with the 2nd Light Horse Field Ambulance during the First World War. After a series of medical problems during his service, including frostbite, influenza and middle ear infections, Gilson was discharged medically unfit in late 1918. From the Australian War Memorial
