Training was difficult, but I had no idea the battlefield would be this brutal. I have just been out here for three months and now I know why they call war hell. My ears are constantly ringing from the blasts of the cannons, and explosions. I am currently using Vickers machine gun, which could spit between 450-500 bullets a minute. I have fired and reloaded my gun so many times that I could do it in my sleep. There are so many soldiers fighting for their country but already some soldier have died. There is so much smoke. When I fire my gun, the smoke rushes into my face. It’s getting harder and harder to breathe but I have God with me. I am currently stationed in the front line trenches I heard it was awful but I never expected it to be this bad.

I saw the bullet hit his chest. We thought he would make it, so we started to take him back to the headquarters located at to be seen by one of the nurses, but he died before we could make it all the way back. So many soldiers have died right before my eyes and I have had to get used to it. But this one was different. I mourn for his death I will always remember him and I will fight for him. Life in the trenches is worse than I could have ever imagined. The bottom of the trench is always about two feet deep of mud. And it isn’t just regular mud. It acts similar to quicksand. If you step in it, your foot immediately sinks and it takes a very great effort usually at least two men to get out. I got stuck in their two times and it wasn't fun. We get a meal once a day and at night it tasted awful I can’t wait to get home and taste your food. Soldiers come up to the trench silently to give us food and if he’s caught, we don’t get food for almost the whole day. When I first came, the other soldiers told me that if there was a dead body, we were lucky because their body could be used to stand or sit on to stay out of the mud. At the time, it was horrible, but now I see that we really are
