surprise me if a card is not sent to Lieut. W. A. Cull – 71st Bn. –
I have an idea that the 13th of the 8th Bn reinforcements have landed, and have taken steps accordingly to find out. If they are in Cairo, I shall probably go up at the end of the week and see Cecil.
This is a great Camp – grand site, and very healthy.
I am attached to "B" Coy, but expect it to be only temporary, for Major B. has claimed me. He told me that he intended to recommend the transfer of a Certain Officer of his, and so get me back. I hope that he does for I know my men in "C" Coy. and they know me –: they are so anxious for me to get back to them – I am getting on well with "B" Coy tho: – I over-heard one chap speaking to a group – He will do us – wont he! Said he. Our Colonel has taken ill, and is in the Palace Hospital, Heliopolis.
