Kerosene has run out here & we cannot keep the lamp alight all night now & it was brought in from the well last night; & Smithers was on duty at a different post in the desert last night. This afternoon I went over to see the lads in B Troop. I went as guard to the transport with Sergt Doyle & Charlie Burke, We took them over some bread for a change.
