Dear Family,
Today as I carried the injured soldier on my back I could smell the stink of fresh gunpowder. I put the soldier down and jumped into the trench and reached up and pulled the soldier into cover. I carried him to the medic’s hole and carefully put him down. I ran back to the main tunnel and grabbed my gun when I realized that there was Turks in our trench! I shot my gun to many times and then felt myself falling down….
And that’s when everything went black.
I woke up much later in the medic’s hole and saw one of the medics looking down at me. “What… what happened?’’ I stammered. “You fainted because of the heat and you fell down so hard that you have broken your left arm.” The medic said with a sympathetic smile. “Can I still fight?” I asked. “Well… are you left-handed?” “No.” “Good, then you can still fight.” “Yes! I can still fight for my country!” I jumped out of the medic’s hole and grabbed my gun and stepped over all the dead bodies that I guessed were from the fight with the Turks.
“ANZAC’S PLEASE MEET AT THE GENERAL’S HOLE!!!!” That’s when we found out we were going home tomorrow! The war had ended!
From Chase
