A letter to home

from my History class

Dear Friends and Family.

I'm in the trenches smelling and looking gross, I have a serious case of trench foot. Don't worry hopefully I'll be back looking better then ever. I'm thinking of you and missing you all. I got all your letters and packages. I'm sorry that I didn't send any thing back I was mostly busy with things. I still have some pictures of you guys. I wish this war was done and over with. I hope you guys are doing better then me. I have mud all over me and it itches. I want to be back right now. Well the battles are brutal, like in ww1 was so bad there was ww1 planes they almost killed me. Luckily I was safe. The gun shots were out of control. I was hardly shooting cause I have bad aim. There was barbed wires and bomb holes and such. I want to visit but I don't know how long we'll be. I haven't made friends cause I don't know how it'll end up. If I did make friends, I wouldn't know how to describe them. I did get what you sent me and I love them. I cross my heart that I'll be back. I wish I wasn't in the war but had no choice to be. I miss you guys and I can't wait to see you again.

Love and miss you By: Andrew Nugteren

Friendship is earned. Will have few real friends in a life. It is good to be kind and friendly to all people. We can learn something from anyone. Have some fun. When you are young. Don't take life so seriously. Thank you for the thoughts to ponder.

Trench warfare I remember that!!! In my opinion world war 1 was the most interesting war to learn about because hardly anyone talks about it buts its vitally important. Nice work

Trench warfare. You had to write this for history class? I had to participate in an re-enactment of trench warfare. I hated when the teacher yelled,"GAS!!!" And we all had to put on our gasmasks (foam bowls). Those of us who were slow had to fall and play dead. This write is inspiring....trench warfare may just be my next topic....Good work with this. The trenches were indeed filthy and disgusting. Most died from the conditions rather than actually fighting. Again, good work.
