Last night went on gaurd. Col came home late roaring a treat & overheard him say that we were to shift. To day things moved some. Men have already left for Hassaniya & we are to move tomorrow morning. A Reg of Yeomanry & 3 sects Camel corps are releiving us, twice as many men to do the work as we have.

Wed 31st Jan 17 Hassaniya
