25th January 1915


Artillery rolling back out into the desert on exercise, 1915.


Mena Camp
Monday January 25 1915

Came off guard at revallie and went out with the guns to the hills behind the Pyramids.  Some of our horses took bad and we had to replace them out of the Amm column.  Left the guns out there with a guard over them and rode the horses back.  They are getting very thin and are suffering from sand colic.







Monday 25th January

At work on manoeuvre area. Good work done. Col Christian "jumped" my portion of ground. Horses now getting new ration and will soon improve. Lecture at night in our mess tent by Colonel Hobbs. 

Criticism of practice of last week. Many points noted.
