Wednesday 30th December
Battery and Brigade Headquarters at work on
Telephone and Signalling. Batteries at Battery drill. Visited Cairo with Capt
McLennan to be measured for uniform and cap, also have boots repaired. Returned
to camp at 2.15PM.
Sir George Reid to address our Divisional Artillery
tomorrow and other units today. Colonel Hobbs delivered lecture in 2nd F.A.
Brigade Mess. Full attendance of officers. He referred to pamphlet issued by
war Office giving details of war at the front, especially with regard to
Artillery. Makes one feel the seriousness of the situation and if prevailing
conditions hold on, how few of us will return to Australia.
