13 June 1916

Posted by Dick on June 13, 1916
Section gun drill this morning, followed by a bathe. A very hot day today and no sea breeze. Section gun drill this evening. I walked down by the line tonight; they are getting on at a tremendous pace and it's all ready for laying the lines. The light railway round the coast from Port Said (32 miles) has reached here too.

The Australians got back from a reconnaissance today with two Turks. They came on a patrol of eight of them, but their trotting camels streaked away from the Anzac horses, and they only managed to wing these two.

Worrall went back to Kantara today.
