The diary of Joe doe

Joe was living in germany when he received his draft papers on june 30 1913. **​** ​

(July 23 1913) Dear diary, I get off the bus, arriving at camp, and I start my training to become a soldier. I must learn to aim effectively, how to operate artilery and machine guns, and how to manuver through difficult terrain and stay hidden, while carrying over 70 lbs. of equipment. (July 24 1913) Dear diary, Today was another long day in camp I had to run with over 70 lbs. of equipment for atleast 5 miles each day. Also I had to practice my shooting. (July 30 1913) Deary diary, Today I had a brief meeting about our ship out tomorrow we go. (August 3 1913) Dear diary, Today my team lands in Nieuport as we get there trenches are getting built.

(August 11 1913) Dear diary, I still had to run even when I am not even in boot camp I run for atleast four miles. (August 30 1913) Dear diary, It has been raining for the past day now and the trench work is going slow because of it I hope it stops soon. (November 15 1914) Dear diary, Today the war broke out and the trench is just about done. (November 29 1914) Dear diary, I can't b elieve how many dead bodys there are out there alot of the trench soldiers have died from bombs that were shot at the trenchs.



(November 26 1914) Dear diary, Today is a good day at war we are doing good but there are alot of wounded soldires out there.

Dear Mom and Dad, I miss u guys so much I miss seeing your faces. I wish you were hear, war is going good I hope it will be over soon. I am doing really good I have a really good shot it is better than most people have. Love, Joe doe
