My twentieth birthday, I wonder where I shall spend my 21st? This year it is thirty miles out in the Sinai peninsula, last year it was training at Bowood Camp, Wiltshire, and the year before in the Swiss Alps.
Enemy Plane came over about eight o’clock this morning, dropped one bomb but it fell wide and did no damage. One of our machines was up at the time and attacked the Bosch – but had to give up and come down owing to her machine gun jamming.
Our bombers were busy bombarding again this morning. Official report this morning says the tanks now hold Katia. I had quite a good view this morning of the Ayrshire Royal Horse Artillery shelling Katia, and could see our patrols rather active to the south east.
The General has sent round a notice this evening saying the attack is now imminent, and an exhortation to the troops saying our positions are now strong and must be held at all costs.
Things seem to be moving a bit.
