When inspecting the orderlies we heard some of them complain of a lack
of linen, especially of drawers. Surprised by this, we made an immediate
inquiry, which produced the following results: the orderlies all
received their regulation supply of linen, and signed a receipt in the
register. A certain number of them subsequently sold the articles to
their officers; these are the men who now complain of a deficiency of
linen.


_Hygiene._--Abundant and wholesome drinking water is laid on from the
town system. The toilet supply comes to cement basins provided with many
taps. The water from the lavatories and kitchens empties itself into a
lake at some distance from the camp.

In the morning the officers use the baths or douches fitted up close to
the barracks, and separated from each other by woven grass partitions.

The officers' linen is washed by their orderlies in very convenient
wash-houses built of wood and cement.

There are 44 Turkish W.C.'s, cemented, at a good distance from the
quarters. They are arranged over cesspools 18 feet deep, disinfected
every day with whitewash and cresol, and are quite odourless.


_Medical Attention._--The health of the inmates of Sidi Bishr Camp is
looked after by an English doctor, Captain Gillespie, assisted by an
Armenian doctor, who practised at Aleppo in Turkey before the war.

These two doctors speak Arabic and Turkish.
