My dear Conway,
I was awfully pleased to hear from you & get all the news. We are in the desert now about 5 miles north of Ismalia digging trenches in the sand which is a devil of a job but we will do it all right.
My Bn. is in very good form & working well. Of course we have a few wasters but I am putting the acid on them. F.G.C.M. [Field General Court Martial] starts this morning four cases. We are well looked after here now, at first it was a bit tough, all transport was by camel, wood, water, rations &c. & they hadn't half enough but now everywhere you look you see camels, there must be thousands here now. We are getting water laid on & a light line for trams 2 ft. gauge running behind the camps. This will lighten the transport animals a bit. We get the Sydney papers most of them here so we know something of what you are doing over yr side. Rami seems to be in the boom. I hope he
