Fix this textarrived at Moascar on 28th May, 1916, the first portion of the
Fix this textsth Division and remained until June 15th.
Fix this textThe line of defences east of the Canal, on which so much time,
Fix this textenergy, and material had been expended was abandoned, and prepar-
Fix this textations were made to leave Egypt. Rumour had been rife for months
Fix this textpast as to our probable destination; some asserted that the reason for
Fix this textour being kept so long in Egypt was that we were destined to re-
Fix this textenforce the troops in Mesopotamia, others asserted, with equal force
Fix this textthat our next move would be to Salonica. Fortunately these prophets
Fix this textwere proved to be wrong.
Fix this textOn 30th May avc received our first definite orders to proceed to
Fix this textFrance and preliminary arrangements for departure were at once
Fix this textput in hand. The news was very welcome, as the novelty of the near
Fix this textEast had worn off and all ranks were eager to move to a itcav field of
Fix this textaction. The weather was extremely hot, nothing less than 130� for

Fix this textAn ofifset to these disabilities was the proximity of Ismalia,
Fix this textwhich, being the junction of the Suez-Cairo Suez-Port Said railway,
Fix this textis a town of some importance. It is prettily situated on the western
Fix this textshore of Lake Timsah. Its principal attraction, apart from a picture
Fix this texttheatre and other amenities, are its well ordered parks and gardens,
Fix this textkept alive by the fresh water which, in common with the whole of
Fix this textPower Egypt, comes from the Nile. The principal buildings are oc-
Fix this textcupied by the Commission controlling the Canal which, although al-
Fix this textmost entirely under French administration, partially belongs to P>rit-
Fix this textain. It will be remembered that in 1875, Disraeli, afterwards Lord
Fix this textReaconsfield, taking advantage of the impecuniosity of the reigning
Fix this textKhedive, made a deal that has proved more profitable to his country
Fix this textthan perhaps any other transaction of modern times.
