Dec.22nd

Today was a very interesting day in egypt, the whole day, we were in the Suez Canal. During the time of war world one, this canal was a constant bomb scene. Many of the supplies had been brought to the shore as if ready to load. There were many sail boats and singal stations. We came this morning to kantara (wich means bridge). This is the old highway to Mecca and Medina. We passed by many natives, they mostly lived in old raggy houses with old iron roofing and some kind of cloth overhead covered with sanbags. In the distance on one side, I saw a long fresh water way, and beside it, there was some sort of sagebrush. The camels seemed to enjoy eating it. the sand here, was so white, it looked like snow.

Dec.23 Today, we reached the red sea, it was very pretty but all we could see for miles, was water. Some of our men got see sick, it was a disturbing scene. the air out here makes you feel free

Dec 26th We are still here in the red sea, we've been here for about a week so most of us are bored to death. For amusement we play chess and cards.
