There are 497 pages in these twelve parts, sections or chapters including a biographical section and a bibliography.
The biographies are those of many of the people involved in Egypt during this period and most have either written or received the
letters and covers shown on these pages or gave been the subject thereof.
The bibliography covers postal history related matter.
For those interested in more material on the military operations during 1882-1898 I highly recommend
British Military Operations in Egypt and Sudan, A Selected Bibliography by Harold E. Raugh, Jr. To be published July 28, 2008 by The Scarecrow Press, Inc., Lanham, Maryland, it is 560 pages and enumerates and generally describes and annotates hundreds of contemporary, current, and hard-to-find books, journal articles, government documents, and personal papers on all aspects of British military operations in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899. ISBN: 0-8108-5954-8.
I hope that this will be useful to students of British military postal history of this period.
