The first light horse casualty in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign. The well consisted of three bore holes, and water abstraction equipment, which was destroyed. As well as other equipment and supplies stored around the camp. Including 4,000 rounds of small arms ammunition. When the raiding force examined the Turkish defences, they located three trench systems, which had not yet been finished, and a concrete emplacement designed for an anti-aircraft gun. At 12:00 the raiding force, covered by a rear guard, started back toward the Suez Canal. Making frequent stops to accommodate the camels they halted for the night at 22:30. The next day, 14 April, the raiding force returned safely to their own lines. Several men who participated on the raid were mentioned in dispatches in Scott's report. For his own leadership skills Scott became a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order. The citation reading "For conspicuous ability and good work.
