refused Stephenson, Evelyn Wood & Graham
when they begged him to take a Secretary & ADC.
That was my first failure.

The great & stormy interview with Zobeir is my account

luncheon table, day after day. O what a hopeless

In March '84 Major Chermside was ordered
to go via Suakin & try & reach Berber so as to

was ordered to go with a mounted force & try to get to
Berber! We bivouacked at [Haudah?], 1000
