Dear Unknown Soldier,
I am writing to you to say thank you for everything.
In the year 2014, life is great in Thurlstone. At the moment, I am stuck in school with a teacher who thinks he can tell jokes! My name is Danny Rutland, I am ten years old and I live in Millhouse Green. Because of you, I think about 90% of the United Kingdom is living peacefully. None of us could be where we are now without all the men out fighting including you. I am very thankful.
The world has changed a lot since 1914; there are a lot of new things such as: Phones, cars, tablets and transport. I’ll stop there because I do not want to blow your mind. But all these lovely things without the great sacrifice you have chosen to make for the future of the United Kingdom and for the future of many other countries that want peace and want no war.
My greatest message is for you to stay brave and carry on. You have no idea how much you have changed and improved in our present world.
Keep fighting and don’t let the trench foot get to you or anything else! We all believe in you and all the other soldiers. We are all behind you on this and we are eternally grateful for the decisions you made to join the British army to fight in the war.
Many amazing things have been happening since 1914 lots of people are much happier and can live peacefully in Britain with not much worry of catching a present disease (such as Ebola a disease in West Africa)or by getting bombed by another country. Thanks to you and the other soldiers from all the nations fighting to stop Germany from taking over France.
I send my thanks through this letter for I cannot talk to you in person but I want you to know I am very proud.
So keep fighting, keep trying, keep breathing and most importantly, stay strong and be brave.
Thank you,
From Danny Rutland.
