There are two constants out here; death and mud. There is so much death, so much pain and suffering, that I don’t feel anything anymore. Today alone, two of my friends have died, but all I could do was keep fighting. Going over the top is suicide, and I’m in disbelief of how I’m still here. Sometimes I forget what we’re fighting for out here. There’s a weapon out here called the devil’s breath. It creeps into the trenches and consumes anyone who hasn’t put on their gasmask quick enough. I saw a man who breathed it in. It was one of the most horrific things I’ve seen. It was like he was on fire. Bombs are everywhere, keeping us up at night. I will not lie to you father, sometimes I want to jump right into one of them. Then all this will be over. But man gets used to anything. I hope things are well back home. Tell everyone I miss them and I’ll be home soon. Tell mom I love her and everything is ok. Whatever you do, do not tell her the truth. I hope I will see you again. If these are my final words to you, I want you to know you are my role model. You made me into the man I am today, and I am grateful for everything you have ever done for me. If this is the end, I love
