10th July 1917
“It was on the 1st I left Moascar & it was the night of 2nd that camp was reached & as it was a straight run through on the train, just about twelve hours, you can gather some ideas of the distance we are out on this desert. You cannot believe the difference a couple of months have made on this part. In fact what was beautiful green country in March is now like a waste due to a great extent to the movement of troops, transports, & all the other pharaphonalia required to make up an army.”
