Faction Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Directions: You will write a letter to your family or a friend from the World War I trenches in Europe. The letter should be written so that the reader understands the stress and trauma of life in the trenches. The letter should be double spaced, typed and one and 1/2 pages long. It should describe the following: * The fear and anticipation you felt in the trenches * Your living conditions and daily life in the trenches * Your morale and what you do to keep your spirits up in the trenches. ___________________________________________________ Any people here knowledgable about WWI ? Wanna help me out? You get a prize if you do :D Its just gotta be like 3/4 a page or so [or 1,1/2 double spaced]. /me donces away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postertoad Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Dear Mom, I sh1t myself again today. The bombs come so close. I tried to pray, but when I close my eyes all I can see are daddies hands. I'm glad to be here and away from him. When I get scared I think of daddy and how much better it is here in the trenches instead of with him. Remember when I stuck that firecracker up fifi's bum? Well something very similar happend to my buddy Bob yesterday. He accidently sat on a land mine while emptying his bowels. We were able to salvage some of his organs and make a wonderfull stew. The supply line has been cut off for weeks now. The air is full of the putrid stench of death, kinda like grandma's meatloaf. I'm getting used to it - but when I come home, you better not bring me to grandmas. Ackk .. Bill just got shot in the right eyeball and his left one is hanging out. I need to go and puch it back for him. Wish you were here, Private Lacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faction Posted May 5, 2002 Author Share Posted May 5, 2002 Go ahead. I wasnt at school all last week so dont know anything about WWI, which is why i was asking you guys to write it for me :o but guess noone will :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobeThrasher Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 *with emphasis* WWI . I do not think a WW2 letter would be too much use. There was no trench warfare, and I'm pretty sure most people can think of what's in that letter. :) :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trench warfare was horrible compared to what was going on in World War II. oh yeah do me a favor... do a quick 15 posts so you can hit 3000 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postertoad Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 LMAO !! How hard can it be Faction. 3/4 of a page aint nothing. Just think ... I'm cold, wet, and hungry, convered in mud and blood, and there's dead people everywhere with bombs going off everywhich way. Imagine your in the Beach mission of MOH, only instead of an ocean line .... its your trench. Got them big barb wire fences and anti-tank [WWI tanks] contraptions with bodies hanging off em. Now ... think like "what would I do if I was there", how would I feel yada yada. -- sh1tting your pants would be a valid, if not understated, description. Or watch Pink Floyd the Wall - Theres a little WWI in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
