"We boarded Lighter again at 6.30am and arrived at our new post Kilo 47 about 1 o'clock. There is a big camp in Kintarrah and Kilo 47 lies below it."
Peter's sketch of Kilo 47, including the proper spelling of Kantara. The camp lies about half way between where the Great Bitter Lake joins the Suez, and where the Canal enters the Gulf of Suez. By 1917 Kantara, an ancient caravan station, was to become one of the largest Brittish camps in the War.
