All accounts from the boys of the New Zealand Brigade in Egypt serve to show that very solid work is being put in daily. Writing to his relatives a trooper states: —"We have been on the march since early dawn, only stopping to partake of a snack which we carried in our mess tins, so you can guess we have covered a good deal of ground. As usual, we passed oasis after oasis, Arab villages, desert camel corps wandering along, monks with beards down to their waist belts riding on donkeys, and fruit sellers following lis with their wares on camels in the same old way. It all seems quite natural to us now, but it was only the other day the scene made me stare."
