25 August 1918 Sunday
No Church today, but duties are heavy owing to sickness- I have only 1 Subaltern at present so am taking my turn at night Patrol. Our C.O. Col Granville was evacuated today. The Aqueduct here (Roman) crosses the Wadi in a big arched water race of massive Masonry hit by Jacko's 5.9 but no impression made- Brown Trout up to 12" can be seen in the all the streams running into the Jordan & I believe they would take a fly- Near here is 10 yards square of Moasic floor like we found at Shellal- Roman work
