Mena Camp

Saturday February 6 1915

Nothing startling happened last night, our Batteries came back about 7.30 am and after the horses were fed and watered the whole Division of Artillery went up the flat and got pictures taken of them and all the officers got taken afterwards separate.

Saturday 6th February

Returned from bivouac to camp at 9AM. Then the whole Artillery Division was formed up under "self ridge" close to camp and a photograph taken. The Artillery covered many acres and made a most imposing picture. Afterwards all Artillery officers rode to the Pyramids and, grouped upon the lower courses of stone of "Cheops" were again photographed. We hope to get some good pictures as a result.
