at the Vacuum Oil Coy. I also met my brother Bert who arrived in the 12th reinforcements of the 19th Battn. I remember the night of his arrival.

I believe he too had a trip without result. He came down to me, reached the tent alright, but I was away. We saw one another for a time until one day he went on a Cairo picquet shortly afterwards being drafted away to England.
