Sunday Dec 20-14
Wellington Battn' with
other troops left camp
[
unclear: 6] - 30 am & entrained for Cairo
where we lined the streets
for the procession and
ceremonies of formally
proclaiming the Sultan.
Marched back to camp
(7 miles) arriving 12-30 pm
Sunday afternoon free.
Stayed in camp for a rest
this afternoon. Proclaiming
of Egypt a protectorate seemed
to be taken kindly and
with satisfaction generally
by the population.
Received first letters from
home since leaving NZ.
