Egyptian military regulations spatially mapped every soldier into barracks through name labeling.

Evidence

This procedure of numbering the soldiers was reinforced by a finer one of labeling and registering. Art. 239 of Qānūn al-Dākhiliyya specified that each soldier had to have his name clearly written in big letters above the headboard of his bed. (Naval officers had to be identified in a similar fashion: the cabin beds had to be marked with the names of their occupants.) Furthermore, Art. 179 of the same Qānūn authorized the sergeant-major to order the quartermaster to “hang the required papers on the door of every chamber of the barracks giving the names and numbers of the soldiers in every battalion and company lodged therein” as well as the names and locations of their commanding officers. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 712
