| On April 1st, orders were received that the Brigade would move, the next day, back to the area previously occupied at belah! |
| Preparations had also to be made and the necessary material accumulated to push forward the lines from Deir el belah and Shellal. |
| Rations were brought up by camels who made the stealthy and perilous journey across the mouth of the wadi nightly from belah. |
| At belah we learnt something of the order of battle in so far as it affected ourselves. |
| The importance of Ludd far eclipsed the quondam glory of belah, and came nearer to rivalling that of Kantara. |
| Opinions differ as to the wisdom of delivering the attack at all until the railway had been brought as far as belah. |
