Notes
General note
During the walking period, the leader of the patrol (Sinclair) and his No. 2 made notes on the nature of the country through which the patrol had been passing, mapping landmarks and principal features of the terrain. The objective each day was to reach some pocket of population where face-to-face contact with the inhabitants could be made.
