These two images have been "stitched" from four pictures shown below to give a more panoramic view of the camp perimeter along the railway line from the top of Guard Section 5 searchlight tower.

Since I entered the above picture and comments, Colin has added a third picture to the panorama above, as shown here.

And the following is my A3 presentation of Colin`s stitching

Unfortunately the following picture of the Passenger train could not be aligned onto the railway panorama

Guard duty was the bane of our life in all the time we spent on a big camp like Kasfareet. Tight security was essential bearing in mind the Kleftie Wallah attitude bred into most of the local inhabitants. Initially about once a fortnight but in late 1955 every 3 days or so as the number of personel on the camp was reduced, day guards 6 am to 6 pm, night guard 6 pm to 6 am with a three shift system of two hours on the wire and 4 hours off ( twice every guard duty )  Being on night guard excused you of duties until 10 am when you had to report in to work. The sky at night was a wonder to behold, the stars shone brilliantly but it was awfully
spooky on the wire by yourself and every sound was magnified and you always imagined that the ghost patrol were sneaking around your watch.

Picture taken through a guard hut window. Anyone recognise the section ? 

Looks like top end of Kasfareet village to me

John Mayo dressed up for guard duty.

Left.....Through the wire. Water tower in background. Where was this taken from ?

Taken on the west side of camp down toward the airfield. Railway line on the right. In the foreground can be seen the old storm gully that ran through the camp to the Sweetwater Canal on the east side

I assume that this is a picture of Kasfareet railway station. Taken from the same position as no 1 but looking slightly more to the right

Suez to Ismailia passenger train heads north. A gateway of sorts can be seen in the perimeter wire. At one time, a  wartime branch line entered the camp through here.

Again from the aircraft control tower looking back toward the perimeter fence and camp. A group of locals are taking a short cut from the railway station along the aircraft perimeter track
