Hello again Annette, I think that the info that Alan Bird gave you is spot
on. Try the URL address he gave you. I think also that the ANZAC's were in
Egypt before Gallipoli which would tie in with the Sphinx. I have also been
there and had a shufti (Arabic for look!) inside the Great Pyramid @ Giza.
It was there that I first discovered claustrophobia! Oh! for a spell
checker! Good luck with you search. Dennis.
