I was after 11 a.m. on the 31st of Augst, allowed pretty well to do as I liked. (this was after I had been examined) & Col. Dobbin very thoughtfully arranged to let me have motor cars as I reqd them. This has enabled me among other things to inspect all the Horses (on Wedsny Sept 1st) men (Sept. 3rd) of the Batteries. Btt Amm & Div Cols at ZARIEH & CLEOPATRA, respectively. I also visited Capt.
