2 February, 1916
Maadi Camp
Another day off with my crook leg I feel pretty well other wise except for a sore throat. Harold hurt his ankle yesterday when he fell from the horse & to day it is bunged up, he is also off duty. Every body has to parade this after noon for some reason, Cook Batmen & all. We have our own mess orderly on now & we get on a great deal better - "Cookey" from this tent has taken it on for us. a dry old stick he is too  €“ The other day his old horse fell with him while cantering up into line from troop [indecipherable] formation. I thought he was hurt but he got up all smiles & carried on. To day ie the anniversary of the landing in Egypt of the 6 L.H.R. I wonder where we will be next 2 Feb
