Letter To My Brother Fredrick Book Report
To my Brother Fredrick, Oct, 31st 1916
Golly Fredrick, it has been a Long time since I have written to you! I am currently located around the Bapaume ridge. How has it been going over there lately? Is Lisa still in the hospital from that terrible sickness? Is aunt Mary doing any better since you have wrote to me last? I sure hope everything is alright over there; I am so excited to get home! Over here at the battle of Somme’s, things are not going too dandy. A hell’ a lot of people are dying, 57,000 British troops died the first day! Ever since I’ve been shipped over there on October 10th I thought things would be better on the front but boy was I wrong, it was nothing like I expected it to be like.

You can operate a machine gun or help us set up some barbed wire! It currently spreads more than 1 million km and it is a fantastic help, you can even control a tank. They call it the ‘Little Willie’ and it only carries a few men and it cannot even cross a trench; word around the trench is that they’re working on a new and improved tank. You can even drive a plane and have dogfights with other planes! You can drop bombs, spy on enemy’s and sometimes there’s cannons that you can shoot out of your plane. The British aren’t slowing down by any means necessary; Sir Douglas Haig is pushing his men harder than ever. The battles been a solid tie for the past months and the casualties are coming and going as much as new recruits are coming in, we need all the men we can get! And plus, when we return home heroes the ladies will be all over us. Haig’s only choice is to give us no resting time so we also need to push our men out here, we need you overseas
