Tuesday 29th December
Battery and Brigade Headquarters at work on
Telephones. All units at battery drill. Went out with O.C to inspect routes to
manoeuvre ground. Area proved to be very satisfactory, but roads leading
thereto very bad indeed. Interview with Col Hobbs and Brigade Commanders re
training areas. Jenkinson paraded before Colonel Hobbs. He agreed to resign.
General lecture to all units at 2.30PM regarding conduct of troops in Cairo and
behaviour generally. Members of 3rd Inf Bde not implicated. Rumours that
howitzer Brigade to be formed.
