To-day, so we are Informed, is Independence Day in Egypt but our orderly room was taking no chances and some wandering "gyppos" who were passing by were promptly given marching orders to depart in the quickest time possible from the precincts of our 'drome. We have learnt from experience that these chance "visits" by stray sheiks may be the forerunner to some stealthy night operation in our camp – consequently all stray "Gyppos"are driven off from this area in the quickest possible time by our vigilant police staff.
