WW1 Diary Entry

W.A.L.T describe what life was like for men and women in WW1 through a diary entry.

1st September 1915

I hate this experience.  In France the days are getting longer and the population is getting smaller, rows and rows of us are getting sent over the top by the general, he can’t see what’s  happening so all he’s doing is sending us to our own death.  The Germans are using their machine guns, Bang! snipers are taking people out person after person, they are placing landmine that are blowing up our trench.

Our food is terrible dry biscuits and plum jam is all we have to survive flies are pesky and the lice and ticks are a big problem. Trench foot can lead to amputations because we can’t take off our boots.  This isn't the adventure that they promised it would be. This is a flaming hell.  I hope my family is doing ok.

Your Sincerely
