Nor was this the worst. After the wounds had been cleansed and bound up as well as might be, came the journey down to Kantara. The lucky few were carried in sand-carts, but the large majority went on camel-back, lying in a cacolet. A cacolet is a kind of stretcher-bed with a rail round it, and a hood over the top to protect the occupant from the sun.

Where we were riding there was no road, simply bridle-paths, and frequently not even a path. After we had been riding for an hour a young Arab on camel-back joined us.
