The photo on the right shows Prince Aly Khan meeting with Shamshu Hussein one of the owners of Regal Theatre Mombasa. The photo was taken at the old Meru Rd entrance.
On this anniversary of D-Day June 6th 1944 it is interesting to note Prince Aly Khan participated in the Allied landing in the south of France with the United States Seventh Army, serving as a liaison officer with the rank of captain. For this, he was made an officer in the Legion of Honour in 1950. He was also awarded the Croix de Guerre and the United States Bronze Star Medal!!
