2good 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 allYours Ol
