hell and there is much more to follow.
They are very much afraid of the
bayonet especially after they way
we drove them out of their position on
the beach. We also captured a
lot of their machine guns also some
of their artillery I think. I don't know
how many prisoners were captured, but
I do know that where ever my mate
and myself saw a Turk we gave him
a ticket home. When we were
charging them I saw one Australian,
a big man, bayonet a Turk and throw
him over his head. I think that Turk
must have got a shock.
Hoping all are well and wishing word missing, probably 'to'
be remembered to all the friends I will
now conclude for the present.
From your loving son
