Write a letter from the trenches (to mother/brother/sister/girlfriend…)
Dear mum,
I’m just doing fine here in the trenches with my company. It is a bit boring having to wait for so much time, but it is also exciting, because you never know when something will happen. We pass the time speaking, most of the time. Our company leader often tells us anecdotes about his battles and they are really interesting. However, when have got nothing to do, we might simply talk between ourselves, play cards, or make snail races.
