22nd December 1914


Artillery limbers heading back to Mena Camp after exercises, December 1914.


Tuesday 22nd December

Out signalling all the morning with Brigade class, and using Artillery abbreviations. In the afternoon I took a party of 50 mounted men for reconnaissance duties, past the Pyramids and round the Sphinx. Very interesting old ruins. I have not yet ascended the chief Pyramid ("Cheops")

Lecture to Brigade class tonight on "Message Form". Capt Marks returned from his trip to Luxor, and Lloyd of 1st Brigade called in re Head Quarters signalling class. Arranged to let my Brigade H.Q. Signallers attend. A horse died today in 8th Battery from sand ‘colic’.
