During the day Chaylor, after a slow passage through the wilderness of Jershimon, concentrated the New Zealand brigade and the 1st Australian Light Horse brigade at El Muntar about 6 miles west of the Dead Sea. Both brigades, refreshed by their rest at the Philistine plain, were in good condition. Engaged as they were on the flank in a true mounted capacity, they rode gaily upon an enterprise which they hoped would bring them to the waters of Jordan. Old campaigners they were now, they were proof against depression, no matter how rough the road of difficult the task. They complained only of monotony"
