Sunday 16th April 1916: On 10th April, as readers may
remember, patrols were sent out by 1st/5th Battalion towards Turkish outposts
in Sinai. Yesterday the patrols returned and their activities are detailed
below.
On 10th four
officers and one hundred men accompanied a camel convoy to Darb-el-Haj, taking
five and a half hours to reach that place, where they bivouacked for the night.
The next day they marched to Wadi-el-Hagge, being joined en-route by the
Middlesex Yeomanry. On 13th the yeomanry captured three Turkish prisoners which
they handed over to the Bedfords’ column. The column started back to Shalufa
the next day and arrived back yesterday, without casualties.
