This week we have some photograph's from our collection belonging to Colonel William Brown (pictured here in uniform). Colonel Brown served with the 1/1st Scottish Horse Field Ambulance in Egypt, 1916 where these photographs were taken.

There is a wide range of images within Colonel Brown's collection, from inside hospital tents to chameleons catching flies. It gives a snapshot view of his experience with the regiment at this time.
