Jerry was over as again at an early hour this morning but thank goodness all we saw of him was a number of flares. No bombs were dropped near our camp but nevertheless the attentions of Jerry in these parts are far from pleasant.
There seems no earthly reason for the squadron to remain on here now, but no news has been received from our Wing, and so we have to hang on in this place with bombs, bully-beef, biscuits and salty water as our constant companions. The suspense was beginning to tell on everyone and Lt. Col. Pretorius and Major O'Brien left by air shortly after noon for CAIRO in order to have the position of the squadron clarified.
