Saturday 9th January
Horses resting. Batteries harness cleaning and shoeing
horses. Damaged water cart of 3rd Inf Brigade being repaired. B.C. and
Subaltern Officers out on manoeuvre area with myself reconnoitring positions
for occupation by batteries at night. Moved out at 7.30PM tonight to take up
these positions. Had a very interesting March. All succeeded in finding their
positions in reasonable time. Returned to camp at 11.30. at 12.30 I was
awakened by Light Horse officers who were having a hilarious evening. I had to
ask them to shut down.
