History letter I am now miles away fighting in a cold bitter war against the Germans as a Canadian soldier

I decided to join the army as I saw it as a great experience for myself to earn money and to fight for his Majesty King George and Canada. I also joined the army as I gave up on becoming a famous football player due to my height. Another reason I joined was to follow in dad’s footsteps, after he died from TB I haven’t been the same and always vowed to follow in dad’s legacy. I also joined for Agnes my lovely girlfriend and Tommy who went on and on and on about the army and pressurised me to join. Furthermore I also joined the army as, when I was walking down the street a woman came up to me and pinned a goose feather on to me which is the symbol to show you are a coward and I know I am not. My last reason for joining was due to the fact I was a failure and always preferred something more practical to do.

The experience here has been wicked and I having a great time and am travelling around everywhere so I get to explore new parts of the country/world. I have come very close to being killed a few times but have succeeded so far and hope to do so in the future. Some of the buildings I have seen have been astounding. I have seen buildings which are very high very big and also very lovely and I have also seen many, many farms, cattle and fields.

I really love you mum and am really missing you at the moment. Happy Birthday for Monday!! Love you loads and loads!

See you soon, lots of love

George

P.S. please tell Agnes I really love her!!! But you more!
