During the past seventeen days, our Division has travelled about two hundred miles per horse, come in contact with the enemy on two occasions & have captured over four thousand prisoners, besides a large quantity of guns; ammunition, etc.
When one considers that after a ride throughout the night without rest & then sees action at daylight the following day, it only proves what a fine healthy body of troops they are & the way they play with the enemy is an eye-opener, I assure you. On the Magdhaba "stunt" on Dec. 23rd we covered twenty five miles in four hours & a half, but the journey from El Arish to Raffa occupied fourteen hours & still they seemed as fresh as daisies & anxious to "mix it" with the Turks as soon as we arrived. Now to get back to the work of the ambulances & cleaning stations.
