On February 7, 1916, on his way back, General Brooking was attacked by hostile Arabs near Butaniyeh.
They met with a cordial welcome from Mr and Mrs Brooking, who, living in such a lovely place, were delighted to welcome them, especially the boys, who were all to give them a great deal of information about friends in the old land, which they had not visited for many years.
