I do not know how much longer I can do this for, the constant sound of ammunition being fired, seeing body after body hitting the cold dirty ground, its making go insane, I just want to return home. It will be my eighth week in the trenches and each day just becomes worse and worse. I am cold and hungry and in agonizing pain and as much as I want to complain I know I can not because I am considered lucky compared to many others. They said fighting for your country would be an honour, they said that
going over seas would be an incredible adventure . They lied. Watching your fellow Canadians who have families back home just like you being shot to the ground isn't an honour. As far as adventure goes I have been sitting in the same trench for 8 weeks, the closest thing to adventure I have is trying to cross no mans land with out dying. I want to go home, I want to see my family, I do not want to be here. These battles are never successful yes we may win but how far does that get us, w all
it does is kill people who are just like me, who have families and homes and are fighting for a cause of what? What are we even fighting for? What is the purpose of this war? I do not even know, all I know is I do not know how much longer I can do this for.
