The Road to Chunuk Bair

Arrived at Alexandria and berthed about 7a.m. Everyone excited at the prospect of early disembarkation. Other units on ship disembark. Cargo discharging started. Our Coy supply all fatigues. Alexandria a great port but appliances not equal to Wellington. Company worked very hard. No leave. Men rather grumble but Orvieto beer has a quieting effect. Great confusion as to entraining for Cairo. We get ready to move at a moments notice.  Baggage disembarked but has to be taken on board again at night to allow men their blankets.
