Received a parcel from Edie T. today.The bombardment of the Narrows still continues; A Battery of Naval guns (landed) has been giving Snipers Nest & trenches a rough time of it yesterday & today; (Snipers Nest is only 350 yards from our trenches) Our aeroplanes are up every day & busy as usual, but a German 'plane is scarcely ever seen; We received a rumor last night from Bde H Q that German workmen wanting peace blew up a German Arsenal & damaged a second, but have nothing official about it. The Turkish Artillery are getting into a bad habit of exploding shells just at the top of this hill & scattering shrapnel amongst us but doing no damage so far
