August 1916
There was a good hot meal waiting us when we got back & we were not long turning in. There was a lot to do in camp next day, states of men horses & equipment had to go in, burial parties organised etc. I was still fairly tired all day. The horses still look a bit the worse for wear. Heavy fighting went on all day. Some of the fresher mounted troops & a lot of British infantry were engaged.
August 6th to 9th
We had a quiet spell in camp, with the exception of a few enemy planes with bombs there was no excitement. Our horses are getting stronger fast. On Tuesday [8th] the strongest horses & men of each regiment marched out at 3 pm reached Katia before dark watered & had tea & pushed on. The funny part of it was that Tommies along the route said to us, You have missed the fun Hurry up & get in for your cut. We have given them hell, etc.
We rode all night
