here we saw thousands of Tommys – Indian – Australians – Horse – Camels – Mud Houses – Asses etc – At 8 pm we just fell out at Zeitoun & after getting all L.H.F.A. Baggage etc, we left the L. Horse for our own Camp – which we reached after 2 miles walk – were issued & Blankets each & camped in a [indecipherable] Hut, it was that cold all night I couldn't sleep – I used to think I knew just a little bit, but am quite resigned to admit as a Queenslander that I didn't know I was alive.
It took my breath away at the magnitude of the Military Camps – from one end of the Canal to the other to just Camps & soldiers – Quite a common thing now for me to see Aeroplanes.
