“I went fishing one afternoon with a hook made out of wire and some thread for a line,” writes a New Zealand soldier from Egypt. 'T caught a most elegant little fisn about five inches long—coloured blue, pink, red and yellow. We are getting some fishing lines and hooks brought out to us in a day or two and then wo are going io play merry hell. There are some quite loig cod living round the coral reef just off our camp so we may vary our diet. Things have not got monotonous in the food line yet—our rations are good.”
