I am fairly sure that my grandfather, H.T.Sutters, is the man seated in the centre of the second row. 16.7.2013 I have just noticed, while back tracking on a referral for 'Abbassia Barracks', a Hansard notice about the poor lighting in the barracks in 1911 and the information that improved quarters with electric lighting was on the way. My grandfather whose photos. are in this group was one of the contractors responsible for that electrical installation. hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1911/feb/23/cairo-abb...
