Group+2+Soldier

= Dear diary, it is August 2 1917.For the whole day today it has been rainy the worst thing about it is that I'm in the trenches. This is the third week that I’ve been in this military site. The reason why this war started was because of the treaty alliance system which lead one problem to another.Some of the other men said that this is the beginning of the war but there are already so many men and women dying for what they believe in. = = = =Dear diary, It is September 9,1917.Today was a interesting day because when me and a couple of other soldiers where digging more trenches then it started to snow in september.All I can think about was my family.The way my fellow soldiers and me past our time by playing cards and by smoking 30 cigarettes a week. So far me and my men together dug up 1200 thousand miles of treanches. The worst thing I heard today was that our men were getting stuck in the barbed wire which eventually killed them.=

** Dear diary,It is November 25,1917.Last week was the last time this year that I was in the trenches. Then I went to a doctor because my feet were killing me and the doctor said I had a big case of trench foot which was when your feet are too cold and too wet. My toes will most likely get amputated which means I have to wait until it my feet heal up to get back in the war. **
