Life in the trenches

Dear Brother,

I really miss you guys We are stuck in the trenches. We have seen so many disgusting rodents that carry diseases. We have been stuck in here for days and the Turks can’t stop attacking us. We have lost more than  two and a half thousand soldiers, and there are only a couple thousand left. Tell mum not to worry because I am fine. I have dodged a few bullets but one nearly got me, I started running and dived into the trenches. I saw the wound and blood rushed down my shoulder. My wound has been protected and I told the general to put me back in for battle, He said “NO”. After the battle we did some more training. The weather down here is freezing.our hands were shaking and we still did some training We had to march, practice our shooting and aiming in the freezing weather. The food here is amazingly disgusting because we have been been getting tin food. We have been told 1 million times by the general to eat or starve  yourself by the general. I have gone out to field to save a wounded member, but alongside all of that I miss mom's cooking and  dads shouting. I missyou guys. I have really really really missed you guys, and of course I love you guys and miss you guys,but until the next time we meet all the best and all the love.

Your loving brother John

P:S: Tell dad not to jump but his cooking is terrible. love you guys

My Camp Thank You Letter

Dear Janina

Thank you for all the adventures you took us on. You have been an awesome instructor and helper. You have guided us through a lot. Thank you for everything.  I really really really have been missing that camp. I hope I can come back again and see you guys. I hope you have an awesome career and all the best in the future. I have loved having you for those activities. But I think the high ropes have to be my favourite. A lot of people agree with me that high ropes is the best activity ever. Some people think it's archery but I argue with them and say it’s HIGH ROPES!!! HIGH ROPES!!! HIGH ROPES!!! I think you are the best instructor in the world. I had the best goosebumps trying to do the trapeze but then I thought of good things just like what you said but I just missed them. All the best From me and the rest of the people you had.

All the best

John

Valerie Adams

The Unfinished Drink

Today I learned about a famous drink which was left in Waihao Forkes Bar 1939 by a man named Private La Tour Mollet (Ted) d'Auvergne who was having a final drink with his friends at 7:20. The train whistle blew and he told the bartender "Leave it on the bar and I'll get it when I come back.” But he never returned. The bottle still lies there which is protected by a wooden box with a glass front. Every year on ANZAC day they add a poppy to lay by the bottle.
