- The Battle of Romani, which might have been called the second battle of Pelusium ... consisted of the great Turkish attack and our counter stroke. (en)
- ... their pluck, dash and endurance is beyond all description. I don't mean only the Australians and New Zealanders but the Horse Artillery Territorials as well ... we have fought and won a great battle and my men put up a performance which is beyond all precedent, although worn out with watching and harassing an advancing enemy day and night for a fortnight ... The fighting in the early morning of the 4th was the weirdest thing I ever took on. It was over rolling sand dunes and the enemy who were in thousands, on foot, could see our horses before we could see them in the half light and it was awfully difficult to find cover for them ... Our losses have been heavy, of course, but absolutely nothing in comparison with what has been achieved. (en)
- The battle should either have been Murray's or, if it had to be Lawrence's, he should have placed all the troops available for it at Lawrence's disposal, the moment the enemy arrived in strength at Oghratina. (en)
