[Page 82]
May 1915
treated very well, getting 3-5 piastre tickets to get what we wanted with. There were several wounded Australians back from the Dardanelles & we had a long yarn with them. Came off duty at 12 o'clock. The 7th Lancaster Fusiliers all got their ammunition & marched out from the Barracks at midnight. . The Herts Yeomanry are quartered here now.
Sunday May 2nd
Fairly warm day. Had no duty during the day & went up town for tea. There was a big crowd in the town. At 10 oclock 3 of us were put on the Esbekieh Carocol We had a couch each to sleep on & were not called out once.
Monday 3rd
Came off the Carocol at 7am. The 1st L H Brigade relieved us at 2 oclock, so we packed up & went back to Maadi. It was hard to leave.
