27th March 1915
Dear Family
Though there are so many men fighting each of them fall one by one. It was the day when every soldier had to fight to save their country. Some soldiers were even worried that they might not return back to their loved ones or even children. We walked through Flanders Fields and there were men fighting. One of our men had one of their legs blown off and we carried him to safety. We started digging our trenches in the dirt.
Next we set up our trenches so we had somewhere to slumber. It was night and I couldn’t get enough sleep because all the bombs were so loud. Then I thought to myself that once I get out of this mine field I would be free at last. But just as I was interrupted a bomb shell rolled into our trench. I started to shout, ”Evacuate”.
Everyone woke up and ran for their lives.
One of our soldiers was injured and it was 3:30 in the morning. We went out onto the field and and we started to shoot. We came back into our trenches and our breakfast was ready. As soon as we were finished it was our turn to go on the field and finish the job.
I am on my way back home. I can’t wait to see all of you.
Yours,
Sini
