Until the railway and water pipeline to Pelusium Station and Romani were built, all water, food (mainly bully beef and biscuits, as packing and transport methods did not allow fresh meat and vegetables), shelters, other equipment and ammunition had to be carried to this position by the Egyptian Camel Transport Corps.
Indtil jernbanen og vandledningen til Pelusium station og Romani var bygget måtte alt vand, fødevarer (fortrinsvis dåsekød og kiks, da datidens transportmetoder ikke tillod transport af fersk kød og grøntsager), telte, andet udstyr og ammunition tranporteres til denne stilling af det egyptiske kameltransportkorps.
