This afternoon Les & I tried again to get into communication with Ezbet-Soo-Doon but with no success & I am now satisfied that it is impossible to get them from here; We seldom get papers out here & everything is very quiet; Mick O'Donnell applied for a transfer into Remount Unit this morning & I am trying to get Les Ryan into this Regt. in place of him

The natives killed a cow here for us today & it was rather interesting watching them. they first cut its throat & then shoved a stick up the leg between the flesh & skin & put in about half an hour blowing air into it to make it skin easy, they were the whole morning doing it;
Everything else the same as usual
