of decayed decomposing Turk haunts me in my dreams.
(23rd Sept)
Awaking at daylight I discover a Jacko - very dead - near our lines & am very glad when we shift our camp ^on to a ridge some distance away. Here we open our first signal office. I sit on a rock with my telegram pad on my knee & a bivvy sheet stretched over'head. We work like blazes all day & night as there is a lot of back work to make up
24th Sept
At dinner time midday we are off again. More rotten dust & decayed Turk. The bodies by this time are getting very ripe. We reach Wadi Jordin about dusk & relieve the 3rd Brigade who have on hand about 10 000 prisoners. Signal office again & plenty of work.
25th Sept. I am dirty & unshaven. Dirty — God. I was never so dirty before in my life ^before. I havent washed nor shaved for a week.
