Hill 70
We had a very rude awakening this morning Was on leave in Port Said, I went down in spite of my assets being low as 30/-, thought the spell in the rest camp would go alright any way, & so it did. I had all my meals in camp & slept there every night, so did it cheap, pictures, concerts, Y.Ms etc putting in the time in a mild way. Was sweetly slumbering at six this morning when the S.S.m. came along, roused us out & told us we had to imshie to our Reg by the 7.30 am train so here I am. Been packing up as we move off to the old desert & closer to Abdul to morrow.
