16-4-16Sun 16thHad a Tommy Sig. Officer out today having a look aroundA rumor that we are going to Aldershot shortly was brought out from Cairo yesterday but it did not get much of a hearing; We asked Abdul Moolah to come at 8 oclock tonight to make tea for us & he turned up to time & kept tea up to us while we played cards; The well sinkers finished at 8 oclock this morning & went on to Ezbet-Soo-Doon where they have another one to sink for the troops there.
The water is very black & dirty today & it will not be fit to drink for a couple of days; Cameron has a touch of Nile fever, Trickett & also several other lads have had it & by all accounts it is rather unpleasant
