Great photos. However I doubt very much the New Zealand Māoris soldiers performed a Haka for the visit of George II to Egypt in 1941.

George II died in 1760 and to the best of my knowledge never visited Egypt.

On the the other hand George VI did visit Egypt in 1941 specifically to visit the Commonwealth troops fighting in North Africa.

The importance of proof reading articles before going to copy is not to be overestimated.

The photos are very well done.

It's the comments that make me believe we are doomed as a species...
