Trp Arthur Rouget (Wandin), 13^th Light Horse Regiment: From his diary (Egypt) -‘We set out for Ferry Post, in the Suez Canal, to patrol the desert. Very shortly after this it is decided to split the Regiment up so as each Division could have some mounted troops, our lot being sent to the 4^th Division. We joined them at Tel-el-Kebir and were sent out in the plantations, guarding them in case some of the troops interfered with the natives. We were on this job for a fortnight’.
