R: French soldier A: Brother F: Letter T: The current situation of the war

Dear brother,

How are you doing? Is everything okay back at home? Life here is a bit frustrating and melancholy sometimes, but I am still healthy and safe so there is nothing to worry about me. Are you all safe? I hope nothing happens to our town and everyone returns home safely. Some soldiers here are getting a bit hysteric and crazy, but we are all so depressed and tired from the war that we spend most of our time resting or listening to our general make plans. I am getting enough sleep and food right now so don’t worry too much about me and get on with your work. I hope this war will end soon so that I can go home.

I am writing from a camp somewhere in the middle of Great Britain. Yesterday, there was a big fight in the battlefield and hundreds of our soldiers died. My leg is injured from yesterday’s battle but I’m fine now and the nurses tell me that it will heal in a couple of days. I think the war might be able to end soon if we fight hard but so many different countries are getting involved in it that it’s kind of getting confusing; this is really becoming a WORLD war. Great Britain, Russia, and we are fighting against Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Germans do seem to be getting stronger day by day, but our military is improving as well and I think we can count on Britain for the navy; cooperating with each other and working hard will definitely help us win this war.

Well, be safe and take care of mother and father for me. Always be aware of attacks and watch out. I believe that you will do a good job in keeping our town safe and protected, I will return home safely when the war ends.
