Wednesday 24th February
Obtained leave to visit New Zealand Field Artillery
at Zeitoun. Saw 4".5 Howitzers and went through their mechanism. Had an
interesting time with Col Johnstone who drove me into Cairo in the afternoon in
one of the N.Z. staff cars. Very hot day, camp very dusty and trying. Purchased
pumps for use of Brigade, 5 per battery and 1 for Brigade Head Quarters, for
use in pumping out trenches and assisting in watering horses.
Returned to camp at 5PM. Received letter from Nell
dated Jan 24th, Emma, Alvord and Chris ditto.
