With the Anzacs in Cairo
by Guy Thornton
'With the Anzacs in Cairo' Summary
As a military chaplain with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) in Egypt during World War I, Guy Thornton witnessed firsthand the challenges and triumphs of providing spiritual guidance to soldiers. His memoir, 'With the Anzacs in Cairo,' offers a vivid and deeply personal account of his experiences. Thornton's writing is characterized by its emotional vulnerability and colorful prose, as he recounts both his successes and failures as a pastor. Of particular concern to Thornton were his soldiers' interactions with the Wasa'a, Cairo's red-light district. He also reflects on his experiences exploring Cairo, the various social services catering to soldiers, and the broader complexities of military life during wartime.Book Details
