good smack.   Our warships had a day out on Friday & made a big demonstration against the whole Turkish position.   The din was terrible, guess it must have given the Turks something to think about.   Things are a bit more quiet lately,   though there are occasional bursts of activity from the Turkish or German artillery.   They dropped shrapnel on the beach yesterday and killed & wounded several of our chaps in swimming. I was not in thank goodness.   Weather here perfect.   My own health & spirits ditto.   Hope to finish Turkey soon then bolt back to Egypt for our horses & come on again to give the Kaiser his quietus.

Lots of love to all
Yours   Ol
