Saturday 6th March
Units still on remnants of equipment. Col White
informed me we would all be away in six days. Hope it is true.
Inspected units this morning. So did doctor. Clean
bill of health.
Our men are either improving in morals or becoming
more careful.
This afternoon I climbed "Cheops". About
460 feet to top and a very solid climb. Also inspected interior. It is very
uncanny. This is my first visit. Hope to get to Sakkara sights
tomorrow also Memphis. It means about a 20 mile ride, but unless I go tomorrow
I shall probably not have another opportunity. No mails from Australia this
week.
