Pretend you're a U.S soldier fighting in the trenches of the west from, Your Staff Sargent has just handed you a piece of paper and a pencil saying, "we're going over the top tomorrow.  You need to write a letter home". Can someone help me, pretend you are writing it to your mom and you don't know if you will see her again.
Tell her 3 specific war related "things" you've seen living in the trenches and fighting in World War One. (mud, rats, gas attacks, dugouts, cold weather, shell shock, trench foot, lack of food, boredom one minute, terror the next).​
