November 27, 1914
My dearest Lucille,
We have finally finished our trench on the front lines. It is nearly 400 miles long and I can see the enemy encampments when I peek above the lip of our makeshift shelter. The reserve trenches are nearly completed, but I fear these holes we have dug will become our graves. They say they will start a rotation schedule to determine where we fight. Since we dug the front, my commanding officer says I will start the rotation in the reserve. I will have two whole weeks before I truly see war. I wish to
see you again soon.
Yours forever,
Max
