7 March 1918 Thursday (X to X crossed out)
Joined Regiment -Scrap on about 9th soon-
Two men R.F.C. Pilot & Observer ran into the Judean Hills owing to the clouds & were smashed up. X Last night a Bedouin was caught stealing Ammunition in R.F.C. Camp so to save trouble we had a drum head Court Martial, read Kings Requisitions to him any old page chiefly about Decorations I think it was they gave him 10 with Shambok, on his soft parts & let him go. X They are awful thieves & will run the risk of being shot cheerfully.
Marched towards Jerusalem & joined my Regiment on the move- arrived Beithania about 4 pm & bivouaced- quite enjoyed my visit to R.F.C.
