  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
  

  Tom
