Rabbit Warren. Hundreds of Trenches branching out & running in all directions. After going through the greater part of them & inspecting the Barb wire entanglements, we marched West, across the Desert to the great pumping & Sewerage Station which the British erected, to try & cleanse Cairo, & which needless to say is well guarded.
We then turned homewards & after a very trying march over the Desert arrived back in Camp very tired. Fancy spending Anniversary Day like this, I wonder how you all spent yours.
The boys are now making up for it however, by having a Sing Song in the Sergeants Mess. We are also remodelling our Camp which will look very good when finished.

Very cold & raining off & on all day. Strange thing happened to-day. One of our chaps (R Nutt) who was admitted to Hospital Suffering from Concussion of the Brain, & who was Crazy at the time, slipped through the Hospital Guard & returned to Camp.
