DC came round in the evening.
Saturday 14th November
Fort. Sh A came in mostly to gossip. Went to see the Secondary School & the hostel, it seemed
flourishing & clean & the boys looked well & intelligent. Various people came to the office. M went
to a war charity committee meeting & I went a ride, rode Obandar as far as Idari then changed horses
& came back on Wadhna.
Saw ABJ about repairs to some of HHs properties, they all seem in need of repairs. Skies stormy &
cloudy, rain cant be far off.
Sunday 15th November
HH & Sh D came & discussed Dubai, Mohd Mana, transfer rationing from Customs to Beladya &
various other matters. Chase came in about matron from Iraq who is coming to stay with us & also
ideas of big hospital extension in case of additional troops in Bn.
Drove to Essen point, saw a lot of rather dubious people coming there in cars who at once sheered off
when they sighted us!
To church after early dinner, Dodds took the service.
