Dear Mum and Dad

The life that i’m living in is not so great. We live in Trenches. It’s really muddy and stenchy and we’ve got rats running around at night and biting us.

Every morning for breakfast we eat butter and bread. Our soldiers always get sore stomach while we are at war because we don’t get enough food. I wish you can send some fresh meat and some water to keep us dehydrated.

In the evening we wash up get ready and we get into groups to discuss who are the four people that are going to stay up all night watching out for the enemies.

The weather here is horrible and in our trenches it is very yucky because the ground is muddy and smelly.How is the family and stop eating and hope that I returned fine and not injured.   

From your loving son
