Edward Ardizzone
Diary of a War Artist

29th June Tuesday
Busy packing in morning. Embus in afternoon. Scene on shore - very well managed and easy embarkation. [Alaka beach] Settle into my cabin. Plenty of cool beer. Am called over by the general and introduced to a Brigadier, who knows my work. Share cabin with Zola, Knight and Kersh. Very hot sleepless night am severely bitten by something and have a very sore throat.
