U.N. Emergency Force (UNEF) in Egypt

The Civil Affairs Section of UNEF in Port Said is working to provide the city with normal services in fields such as safety, health, utilities, finance, communications and supply. This Section, made up of a team of Swedish officers, was designed to provide continuity in public services by taking over responsibility from Anglo- French officials and passing them on to the Egyptians as they become able to handle them.
Shown here are some of the officers of the Section: from l. to r.: Lt. S. L,antz; Dr. Wilkems; Lt. B. Egsett; Maj. B. Reutersward, Chief of Section; Maj. G. Wessman; Capt. G. Svedlund; and Capt. T. C. Bergstrand.
