Fixed up as many make-shifts for bridles as possible this morning, Reveille at 5 oclock struck & rolled tents at 5.15 then stables & breakfast at 6.30 & left the Camp at 9 oclock this morning had to wait for half an hour before we could cross the Canal, soon after we crossed the Canal we passed a barbed wire yard containing Bedouin women & children & a few old men but no signs of a man fit to carry arms they have all joined the Turks long ago; We arrived at Hill 70 & found it deserted, only the sheds remain at Hill 70 we had dinner & came on to Dueidar & camped for the night, not far from the 5 L.H. Regt. I felt crook all the morning, but feeling fairly fit this afternoon
