following words in your letter. Your letter home should include 10 of the following 20 words.

Dear Alice,

I do miss you. The environment here is always wet and cold due to constant rain. The ground is always muddy and it smells a lot but I can count on my friends to always help me look on the bright side but honestly, your best friend should be your riffle. Not only are the weapons of the enemy so dangerous, the disease here are quite deadly. Many soldiers have either been shot down by the German Soldiers or died of Cholera or been a victim of Lice, Trench Foot, Rat bites and Mustard Gas thrown in by the Germans. So we constantly have to wear gas masks. The food here is terrible and we are running out of our rations. Oh, I do hope I will get see you another day as soon as this over.

Love, Michael.
