So far as I can find out the only damage done was four horses killed & five or six men wounded.

Jan. 4th
The weather nowadays can be only described as positively fiendish. Last night I was on picket; from 10 to midnight – my first shift the moon was shining amidst light feathery clouds looking most hopeful. At 4.30 a.m., when I next resumed it was pitch black & raining in a steady downpour. Most depressing.
The wadi is now running pretty freely between us & El Arish. Another stunt is hatching – originally for tomorrow – but I believe there has been a train accident & our rations & fodder have I believe come to grief owing to the railway bank having slipped somewhere so I don't think we shall go out tomorrow.
