After we reached
cover, we found the 'S.R.Y.' Headquarters close by, so we reported
there, when we were told that orders had been issued for us to
re-join the Squadron. The 'O.C.' and Mr. Raynor were there also, who
told us to remain for the night, off-saddling half at a time. The
following morning we again came into action near our original
position of the previous day, but did not fire. During the morning
we were relieved by some machine guns from the Camel Corps, and
then rejoined the Brigade".
"B" SUB-SECTION'S WORK.
"B" Sub-section was early attached to the Australians and advanced, on the
right of the "S.R.Y.," on the edge of the plain. They had tough fighting
and fired a considerable quantity of ammunition. It is regretted that
information is not available, to allow of a detailed description of the
adventures of this Sub-section at Khuweilfeh, being given. It is certain,
however, that the Sub-section rendered the Australians valuable assistance,
which was greatly appreciated.
The Brigade, having been relieved by the 53rd Division[3], now commenced
the long march back to Beersheba, a distance of at least 10 miles, through
the country we have just described.
