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’.
