Letter home

Dear Mother and Father


        I know I haven't written back in a long while.  I'm sorry for the delay, but we have been very busy due to all the battles going on in Europe.  I am an ambulance drive for the British Red Cross and I have been driving to the battle fields retrieving wounded soldiers.  It's a hard job to see all these men like this, but it is a job that someone had to do.  As of now I'm back in Britain on a short leave, but ill be head back to Germany within a few days.  We are slowly taking the war, but the Germans are fighting back hard.  The trenches go for miles and many people have been dieing from poisonous gases.  We do wear gas masks but for some people they don't work or they aren't put on in time.  I hope to come back soon but i don't know how long the war will go on for.  Please write back as soon as you can.    3/5/1917
