Mejdelaya Tripoli

Busy erecting bivouacs. Had another attack of malaria abt. 11 am. Started to rain after lunch.

Glorious news of Germany accepting armistice reached here abt. 6 pm. Flares going up everywhere. Guns booming. Sirens blowing & warships firing salutes in Tripoli bay. Church bells chiming. Great rejoicing.

Still raining. I had a severe attack of malaria but got up to cheer the news.
