    A rough translation of the typing at the bottom of the card would be "A party giving a welcome to the Chief Allenby who is giving medals to a small group of French Officers"!

    Google Translate says,
    "Groups welcoming the Saxon Taoiseach Allenby, who has presented medals to a small group of French officials"

    Saxon ?!

    Allenby -

    More information here in French; translation to follow. It is a street in Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise in March 1916. Decorations for French airmen ...

    Translation of the French caption on the site above -

    "Parade of the 108th territorial infantry regiment in the streets of Saint-Pol - March 1916.
    These troops paraded on the occasion of the presentation of decorations to the pilots, Captain Turin and Corporal Daguesan by General Allenby and the commander of the 3rd British army"

    Too easy with Google Lens -

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huda_Sha%27arawi
  • beachcomber australia said:
    This is unusual - from the wiki above - "Sha'arawi is depicted in the song "The Lioness" by English singer-songwriter Frank Turner on his 2019 album No Man's Land."

    Bualadh bos, ɹǝqɯoɔɥɔɐǝq!

    Though *shaking fist* at Google Lens for ruining our fun!
  • John Spooner said:
    There are plenty of photos credited to G. Lekigian of Cairo in such illustrated periodicals as The Graphic and the Illustrated London News, and also to C.Lekigian and L. Lekigian, the latest being in 1919. In 2002 the Dundee Weekly News published a photo of camels, palm trees, Nile waters and the pyramids taken by Mrs Lekigian in the 1860s.

    I am more than a little interested in this lady because my own Irish grandfather was a fairly senior officer in the Egyptian colonial Police from 1919 to 1937. He would certainly have known of Huda Sha'arawi, and possibly she knew of my grandfather.
    [Aside - my mother was born in Cairo in 1922, which makes her my Egyptian Mummy ! ]
