This telegram was sent to me while I was in Port Said.

"A nice surprise for me was to receive an army telegram, to say that my son had been born on the 22 November. I celebrated with two mates, and we had some chocolate, hard tack biscuits and a bottle of beer each, which we had saved - one happy day."
