26/5/16 Friday
Rather hot & dusty – Read out in Brigade orders, that we deserved credit for our display yesterday & the G.O.C. thanked us – On Guard all day – Another Kit inspection – All cameras have to be got rid – under severe penaltys for disobedience, as no Camera are allowed to leave Egypt.
27/5/16 Saturday
Had the day off for being on Guard yesterday. The Boys pulling down & packing our Marquee tents etc - We are ready to move at half an hours notice – While swimming at night two big Boats went through one was the Whitecourt & the other a French Mail Boat converted into a transport, it had a lot of Indians on, also a lot of mixed passengers aft, we were rather surprised to see women & children we had to take to the water as we were in all stages of dress, they gave a good cheer.
