Adam S. Johnston: April 22, 1863
Left Camp Woodbury and arrived the same day at a place called Small-pox camp, having received its name from the fact that at this place the inhabitants never were clear of this fearful disease. Encamped for the night, making a march this day of 17 miles.

Geoffrey De Egglesfield Collin: April 22, 1944
A horrible night. Japs took two bunkers just inside our wire. Devons panicked and I had a hell of job trying to quieten them down. Company Commander was excellent but very short of men officers and NCO’s. In the early morning Japs shelled and attacked; our infantry fled, and I and one bugler had to get out pretty quick; a nasty business but we managed to get out the wireless set and established OP on Scraggy Hill.
