Notes

The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "‘The Giddy Pasha’ and his wives have joined forces with one of the cats. Two servicemen wearing uniforms of the RAF are assisting. This dates the photograph to this period. The RAFC became the RAF in 1918, and played a very important part in the Middle Eastern Theatre of War."
