January 1917
shell fire, but don't know to what extent.
On the 14th Major Genl Chauvel inspected our camp here & was well pleased with the appearance of horses & men. Major Genl Watson inspected us the following day. Sports were held at Hassaniya but our Regt didn't take part. C Squadron played the 7th 2 games of football, the first was drawn & the 2nd C Sqdn won by 5 to nil. The weather has fined up again but the nights are cold. Things are quiet again on our front.
