PRG 621/29 Letters Written by Irene Bonnin During Her Service As an Army Nurse __________________________________________________________________________________ PRG 621/29 Letters written by Irene Bonnin during her service as an Army Nurse Transcribed by Jean Seifert and Kathy Hurley, Volunteers at the State Library of South Australia, 2014 [Irene Gertrude Hiller Bonnin (1884–1971) trained as a nurse at North Adelaide Private Hospital (now Calvary Hospital) at Strangways Terrace, North Adelaide. In 1914, aged 30, she enlisted in the Army to serve as a Staff Nurse in the First World War, embarking on Thursday 17 June 1915 ex HMAT ‘Wandilla’ from Melbourne with the 1st Australian General Hospital and disembarking in Egypt on Saturday 17 July 1915. This collection of letters spans the period of her service in Egypt where she was stationed for some 9 months, subsequently transferring to northern France in conjunction with the 1stAustralian General Hospital’s evacuation from Heliopolis on 29 March 1916 via Alexandria to depart ex H.M. Hospital Ship ‘Salta’ on 30 March 1916. The ‘dearest girls’ addressed in the salutations of the letters are her sisters: ‘Net’ or ‘Nettie’ who was Katherine Esther Bonnin; ‘Con’ who was Constance Josephine Bonnin; ‘Emmie’ who was Emmelie Frances Bonnin; and Mary Bonnin Bonnin.] [Additional information: Staff Nurse Bonnin’s personal diary of the period reveals that after a further 7 months on the field in France, and ‘in need of a long rest’, she was granted leave to England, to be followed with a transfer to a ‘softer job’ there. She arrived in England on 8 November 1916 and on her return to duty just before Christmas that year she joined No 3. Australian Auxiliary Hospital at Dartford in Kent. It appears that she continued to serve with No3. A. A. H. until at least January 1918. After Cessation of Hostilities in November 1918, the now promoted ‘Sister’ Irene Bonnin finally returned to Australia early in 1919 ex ‘Ceramic,’ and termination of her appointment with the Australian Imperial Force was granted on 9 June 1919.] List of letters written by Irene Bonnin Palace Hotel, Heliopolis, Cairo Monday Morning [19th July 1915 – two days after arriving in Egypt] Heliopolis Palace Hotel Thursday [22 July 1915 – five days after arriving in Egypt] Saturday July 24th [1915 – one week after arriving in Egypt] Heliopolis still.

Isn’t it wonderful to think of !! I can’t believe it. Before I tell you all about everything I must tell you that we may or probably will be moved on to other places any time, but at present we are safely here. Oh if only you could see everything it is most lovely – I am afraid this will not be a very long letter as I have only just heard there is an Australian mail out today & letters must be in in an hour’s time, so I must write hard ! I have just sent a cable to you addressed as I said Bonnin Prospect South Australia just to let you know we are all right. I do hope you get it all rightly. Well we arrived at Suez on Saturday morning, terribly hot when we stopped. Sea a glorious colour, high barren hills on one side, strange white square flat roofed houses & few green trees [page] 2 on the other & lots of other boats, transport etc. Well after a time we were told we were disembarking on Sunday morning, – then at midday on Saturday [17th July 1915], which was changed again to 4 o’clock & altered till 2 30 & finally ended in us leaving the boat about 3.30 !!! The troops, most of them, disembarked before we did, poor fellows; two train loads left before we did, & with us went some A. M. C. boys several sick ones out of the ship hospital, doctors & I am not sure if any troops. The Major & Adjutant also. It was a long but interesting journey right up to Cairo, travelling through such strange country, desert, canal bright blue in distance, with occasional ships, little canal like a stream, supposed I think to have been begun or something in Pharoh’s time, running alongside train line with rushes, trees, something like maize, Palms, great tall things with a tuft on the top & little low squat hovels with natives sitting round or running up & calling for [page] 3 ‘bacsheesh’ (?) [alms giving] the dear kiddies waving their hands & calling out. Weird camels & donkeys, goats, cows at intervals. We passed some fine armed native soldiers on horseback with turbans & long spear-like things (I don’t mean to say this was all their covering !) patrolling the desert I suppose. Also once about half way three Europeans on horseback, soldier men you know, stopped & watched us pass & waved their helmets. It was getting dusk & the red sun was setting & these three men cheering us on in the middle of the desert was a most impressive sight – Once we stopped at a station & oh how I wish I had had another film in the Kodak but I had packed them away. The natives in their long coloured flowing robes right to the ground crowded along the side of the train with huge pie melons PRG621/29_Bonnin_letters_transcript Page 3 of 57 __________________________________________________________________________________ lemonade I think, & other things to sell, calling out going backwards & forwards, the children occasion[-] [page] 4 ally getting a whacking with the policeman’s cane which made them jump ! All the little bridges we passed had armed guards. About three hours before we got to Cairo we passed through a very fine town, large buildings brilliantly lighted with natives sitting round little tables under verandahs. Zadaziq [Zagazig] or something was the name. Then on again we went & reached Cairo about 10.30 pm. & waited outside the station for about ½ an hour & then started to go backwards !!! Imagine our dismay ! We just saw the outskirts of Cairo, Huge tall white buildings flat roofed about 4 & 5 stories with large windows & small balconies electric cars & motors & broughams tearing about. In about another 20 minutes we came to a station I don’t know the name, & we all got out & were bundled into ambulances, ten of us at a time in each & tore bowled along to this magnificent place, Heliopolis Palace Hotel. [Post script written vertically in left and top margins] GOD bless you darlings. Heard today our old boat was nearly blown up by a mine soon after we left her when she was moving out to make room for the Karoola Only for a mine catcher going ahead she would have been I suppose[.] [page] 5 The size & grandeur you cant imagine Palmer & I have a lovely room together huge ¾ beds, It is on the 2nd floor & number 441 !!! I supposed there must be 700 or 800 rooms altogether if not more !!! I have gone about only a very little only our room & mess room & a few others. There is a lovely bath room & lavatory leading off ours & also another large room with four of the other S. A. girls. So aren’t we lucky !! All the floor are stone or tiles & the corridors are immense, wide & so long – I have lost myself several times !! At least found myself miles from where I wanted to be. Do you remember in those photographs Nellie Haynes shewed us of that huge hall that was full of beds? Well imagine me being there !! Or near it ! You ought to get Nellie to shew them to you again – do.

  • The Next Big Thing
    THE NEXT BIG THING The talented poet, Clare L. Martin, has invited me to talk about my recent books for an expanding interview series called The Next Big Thing. Clare is the author of a recently published poetry collection, Eating the Heart First (Press 53). You can read her interview at her blog. I will in turn tag four other writers that will tag others and so on, as to create a chain of responses that will serve to connect writers internationally. Here are my responses regarding my short story collection, Flying Carpets (March Street Press 2012) and my recently published full-length poetry collection, Tea in Heliopolis (Press 53, February 2013). TNBT: What is the working title of the book? Hedy: Tea in Heliopolis TNBT: Where did the idea come from for the book? Hedy: I was born and raised in Heliopolis, a residential suburb of Cairo, Egypt, then lived several years in Lebanon. We left Beirut at the onset of the civil war--that lasted fifteen years--and lived several years in Europe, before coming to the United States. I began Tea in Heliopolis and Flying Carpets several years after coming to Michigan. Both books reflect an attempt to recover people, places, affects pertaining to an almost mythical past that is at the same time lost yet alive. In Tea in Heliopolis, there is a great space informed by art, because my mother was very artistic and instilled in me her passion for painting. My other poetry manuscripts, one in English and the other in Spanish, are mainly inspired by visual art.

    © SB13-Cairo 2013 Historic Parks in the Face of Change: The Merryland Park, Cairo, Egypt Shetawy A. and Dief-Allah D. Historic Parks in the Face of Change: The Merryland Park, Cairo, Egypt Shetawy A.1 and Dief-Allah D.2 1 2Ain Shams University, Department of Planning and Urban Design 1 El-Sarayat Street, Abbassia, Cairo 11517, Egypt e-mail: [email protected] 2Ain Shams University, Department of Planning and Urban Design 1 El-Sarayat Street, Abbassia, Cairo 11517, Egypt e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Tracing the evolution in the conceptual frameworks of Conservation theory, the domains of conservation have dramatically changed since Athens Charter 1931. It has become more diverse and inclusive. Starting with the concepts of historic, artistic and archaeological monuments, the domains expand to include, among many other, historic gardens. Moreover, contemporary trends of Conservation theory also expand to include new dimensions as cultural, social, economic, spiritual, sentimental and symbolic values. This has resulted in the emergence of culturalisation of heritage trend and the consequent introduction of new concepts as cultural landscape, urban environmental structures and intangible heritage. Historic parks and Gardens contribute to the setting of historic buildings and are valued as ‘works of art’. They are also valued for their horticultural interest and association with a notable person or event. It amplifies, in many cases, community identity and belonging. In the face of economic, social and political change; Egypt is struggling as any other developing country to attain the balance between development and urban transformation on one hand, and holding on to its local values, and heritage on the other hand.

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Mail has a long and vivid history. As postal services evolved Egypt; Post in the nineteenth century, numerous bilateral treaties were Conference; Postal enacted to regulate postal procedures. However, as the great Museum; King Fuad. number of these bilateral treaties complicated such affairs, a succession of international conferences to discuss postal (JAAUTH) problems were held, first in Paris and then other cities. Vol. 20, No. 2, Egypt had been represented at all postal conferences, and it was decided that it would host the Tenth Postal Conference (2021), in 1934, which was also the year that the Postal Museum PP. 66-87. opened in Cairo. This article discusses the details of the Tenth Conference for the first time. It further discusses the representation of Egypt in the postal conferences before this event. The article relies primarily on a set of original documents kept in the archives of the National Archives in Cairo that will soon be published for the first time. It is evident that Egypt has made notable contributions to all postal conferences. In addition, it managed and organized the conference that it was mandated to host in its territories in a professional manner.

All rights reserved No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval sys- tem, or transmitted in any form or by any means electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise without the prior permission of the author The author wishes to thank all those who have generously given per- mission to reprint borrowed material. In case I have neither identified nor attributed the correct material to the appropriate author, I hereby confirm that all claims remain safeguarded and if contacted by such authors then I shall rectify this I Preface One of my major motivations for this study dates back to the summer of 2005, when I had the chance to look more closely (or with more critical eyes as a freshly graduated architect) at the situation of urban life in Jordan, where obviously the majority of ongoing developments were more engineering–based, constant building of bridges and tunnels, whereas none or little was being done for the people and the “sense of place”. It is argued that the level of freedom a person experiences while walking around the city streets, is proof of how civilized the place is, a good urban place is one that offers the people the chance to move about the city in a free, safe and pleasant way, and whose space assists in orienting the user in finding his way from one place to another without fear or confusion.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 For Sarah and our parents 3 Abstract Though officially ruled by the Ottoman Empire, Egypt was under British occupation between 1882 and 1922. Most studies about the British in Egypt during this time focus on the political and administrative activities of British officials based on government documents or their memoirs and biographies. This thesis focuses on various aspects of the British community in Cairo based on sources that have been previously overlooked such as census records, certain private papers, and business, newspaper, military and missionary archives. At the outset, this discussion introduces demographic data on the British community to establish its size, residential location and context among other foreign communities and the wider Egyptian society. Then it deliberates on the occasional ambiguous boundaries that identified members of the community from non-members as well as the symbols and institutions that united the community.

  • Chapter Four Mapping Case Studies According to Lynchian Method
    CHAPTER FOUR MAPPING CASE STUDIES ACCORDING TO LYNCHIAN METHOD 4.1.INTRODUCTION Finding one's way depending on environmental knowledge requires first to know what internally represented about his environment. Sketch maps and interviews can give us what's coded in people's minds about their environment. The degree of completeness of sketch maps and the way people use in describing a way for strangers can predict the degree of urban legibility; and outline the actual reasons behind wayfinding problems. Wayfinding problems in general result from difficulties in coding or recalling environmental knowledge in wayfinders minds, so the question is: why particular environments are easily to be coded and therefore easily to be navigated, while others are difficult to be internally represented and therefore have locational difficulties? This question addresses what mainly we intend to do in this chapter. Three Egyptian areas were chosen for applying Lynchian method on them. These areas are: Heliopolis, Maadi, and Cairo CBD. They are unique in character among Cairo districts, and being vivid and similar in form. 4.2.CRITERIA OF CHOOSING CASE STUDIES 4.2.1 Character The area chosen for study should be unique in character, rich of its unique buildings, squares, landmarks and nodes, and seem, on first observation, to have high order of imageabilty, thus the ability of studying Lynchian elements can be available. 4.2.2 Urban Fabric The area chosen for study should have a form reflecting its character. What ever type of urban fabric, problems of disorientation may be emerged. This may refer to problems in urban fabric itself or to visual problems in general.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis identifies the extent to which roles for women in film changed alongside socio-economic shifts and ideological transformations in the country and considers how cultural conditions contribute to the demarcation of gender roles and cultural identity. It analyses the representation of female protagonists in Egyptian films by looking at their position in the narrative structure and their treatment within the filmic discourse. It also examines to what extent this is a reflection of reality with particular emphasis on the position of women in society. It looks at the ancestry of female protagonists but its focus is films made after 1970. Many films made after 1970 present a society in conflict and transition.
