Friday 12th.

Usual.

On Thursday 4th. 2 platoons
of Taranaki Coy with ditto
Gurkhas, a squadron of Indian
Hydrabad Lancers and a
battery of E. Lanc. Artillery made
a strong reconnaisance to
the front from our Post to
clear up the situation. page 76 At about 2 miles distant
they encountered a party of
Turks several hundred strong
who opened fire on the Lancers.
Our Artillery replied and the
enemy retired before we could
come up with them. One
Lancer was killed. Things
have been quiet here since.

Today (Friday) enemy are
reported to be retiring and
no strong force is within 20
miles but we anticipate
their return and are quite
prepared. On [gap — reason: illegible]Friday (12th) 400 Gurkhas
have been landed at Fort by
the H.M.S. Minerva on a
small expedition.
