The 2nd Regt led the way to-day it was a lovely ride through Barrage with gardens on either side but we soon were following the line along with the desert on our left & a small canal on our right; It was very heavy travelling for the horses as they sank to their fetlocks in the soft sand; We halted for an hour & a half for dinner at midday & got into camp at Wardon well before sundown but it was moonlight before we had the lines down & the horses fed & watered; There is miles of tents here filled with English Tommies (The 53rd Division) Les & Reid went to the canteen after tea & came back with a supply of tinned fruit & biscuits
