At the same time, the new headquarters of the Eastern Force came into existence at Ismailia under the command of Lieut.-General Sir Charles Dobell, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., under whose direction thus came more immediately the operations in the eastern desert. This review of the advance across the desert has of necessity been superficial.
About the close of next month, I expect to go to London, to pay a brief and quiet visit.
