Stayed at Romani all day and rested the horses. None of them seem any worse. We left Romani at 5:30 this evening and had a very hard three hours pull up to Mahamdiya. They have finished the railway up to here now, and are starting again from Romani to push on forwards to El Arish.
The horses have gone back to Romani. They’ve worked awfully well the last few days. ‘Kitty’ was full of beans too.
Intelligence report tonight rumours 10,000 Germans at Damascus, but it sounds unlikely.
They’ve just brought a force of seven thousand men from the Egyptian Labour Corps to help on the fortifications and also flood Lake Bardawil. If they manage to do that, it will make this place practically impregnable from that side.
Badcock a bit rough tonight, though he thinks only an upset inside.
Buckley left for Kantara this afternoon.
