		The same day we moved back into our old position on the south face of the Baggush box, I went into occupation of my old dugout and storeroom, how long we were to stay there was not known.
		The Battalion were still in the south face of the Baggush box, the time being occupied by training and improving the defences, my own dugout was unproved and well camouflaged.
		I was quite comfortable and safe neither was I overworked being able to write very regularly to Kit and look forward to the receipt other letters, parcels and papers.

	5 Fd Regt Reforming the Regiment
		The Division headed further North to Baggush and the 5th Brigade stopped at a place called the Kaponga Box, or at least it was the Box after we had dug Gun Pits and fortified the area.
		The Box was just a little South of El Alamien and was to be used later as Rommel advanced.
		Why this particular play remained in my memory is because we left Baggush on the 11th November 1941 and on the morning of the 18th November 1941 Doug Gerrard, with the few left from E Troop, 28th Battery and R.H.Q., were overrun and taken prisoner.

	28 (Maori) Battalion Association
		Fortress A, better known to New Zealanders as the Kaponga Box, was a ten-square-mile semi-circle of low, steep-sided ridges in an area where the navigable desert, that is where mechanical transport could move freely, was, between north and south, only 40 miles wide; the coast was one flank and the Qattara Depression the other.
		The Indians were to contain the frontier fortress line from the south and east while the New Zealand Division, after a wide outflanking march, was to move northward when the armoured battle situation was favourable and complete the isolation of the frontier forts from the north-west and cut off the small supply port of Bardia.
		If the Gazala Box was found to be occupied in force, the brigade would reconnoitre the area but was not to get involved in serious fighting without prior permission.

		In command of this delaying force was Brigadier General Gott.
		Meanwhile, the main force was to retreat towards Mersa Matruh and the Baggush Box where strong fixed defences had been prepared.
		These would stop the Italians long enough for reinforcements to arrive, bolster the defence and, eventually, launch a counteroffensive.

	28 (Maori) Battalion Association
		Christmas Day celebrations had necessarily been passed over but New Year's Eve, two days after the arrival at Baggush, made up for everything; flout regulations were ignored and each company had a bonfire with refreshments on the side; bullets, shells, and assorted fireworks were exploding, whizzing, and whistling for miles around.
		A course was set for the Alamein defences, which were reached at last light after a move of over one hundred miles.
		It was some days before all the troops were collected and the battalion's casualties ascertainedfive had been killed and seventeen wounded.
