Sunday 10th January
Laid in till 7.30 this morning. Would have
appreciated another hour. Major Burgess took church parade while I wrote
letters to Nell, the boys, home, and Arthur King in Melbourne. I also sent Post
Cards of Port Said to Chris and Alvord and 12 cards of Cairo environs to Nell.
The latter were very good pictures indeed. During the afternoon Ali Bey and his
son motored out and stayed to dinner with us. He seemed to enjoy himself
thoroughly and was much interested in the Ammunition Column wallaby. He also
brought me out three extra photo frames, for Alvords, Charleys and Chris’
photos. I have them all framed now. Ali Bey left at 8PM. I saw him past the
guards and then returned to my tent.
