November 11, 1918

I am home from war. Things changed since i left. My brother is older now. Everything is very different , even though some people say it's not. Just a couple days ago there were fire works to celebrate our return from war. Though every time i hear explosives i remember the deaths of many f my comrades. We are celebrating with a party for my return, everyone looks happy and they're enjoying themselves, but not me. I'm really to in the mood to party but not me. People would come up and say they're glad i'm alive but what about my soldiers? What about them what do they feel about them. All their families get just a letter saying sorry for lost. What good does that do.I feel that part of me is missing. I just don't know what. I feel that i should still be in war helping and saving my comrades.

It's difficult being a soldier in war, you have to make sure there aren't any rats around you. If there are rats living by you around world war one then you know what the rats and it's infections cause. Rats left behind lice. Not all lice are always found in dirty clothes. When a clothing garment was washed a lot, not all the lice comes off. The lice eggs were always layed hidden in the seams.After a soldiers clothing finishes drying, when they put on the clothes it causes the lice eggs to be born.Lice eggs are born with body heat. Lice caused trenched fever.A painful disease that suddenly began with severe pain.



I live by "normal" people. Evey time people see a soldier having flash backs they think that he's going mad. They think he's not "normal". War is not normal, the people that are not in war are mad. They say that war is like a game, but it's not. War is more than just a simple game. To all those who consider war is a game, you don't know how war actually is.

Mustard Gas

Mustard Gas
The First World War also saw the use of chemical warfare and aerial bombardment, both of which had been outlawed under the 1907 Hague Convention.
Chemical warfare was a major distinguishing factor of the war. Gases used ranged from tear gas to disabling chemicals such as mustard gas and killing agents like phosgene. Only a small proportion of casualties were caused by gas, but it achieved harassment and psychological effects. Effective countermeasures to gas were found in gas masks and hence in the later stages of the war, as the use of gas increased, in many cases its effectiveness was diminished.

Mustard gas was used during World War I. Mustard gas was used to kill or leave injured people. Some people didn't get injured too much but they had skin diseases. How was mustard gas important? Mustard gas was used to kill people or injure them.

Ways civilians helped during the war was paying taxes. Paying helped support the war. If a civilian payed their taxes part of their taxes is helped to pay for weapons and supplies. Civilians also either donated food or clothing to the soldiers. Some woman made blankets for the soldiers. The blankets were usually sent around fall so they can keep warm.Some civilians helped nurse the injured or sick soldiers. Some civilians were former soldiers that retired and with their experience they helped train the new soldiers.
What I miss from my civilians life is being with my family. I miss laughing joyfully with my friends. I miss sleeping peacefully. Now i have to be on the guard making sure we don't get bombed while sleeping. I miss spending holidays with my family. I really miss my home cookings. I miss living peacefully. I miss living under my roof where i can sleep and eat without leaks and out in the rain.

Yes, this is poster is propaganda. This poster is propaganda because they don't give you enough reason on why to join the war. They relate the Germans to a wildfire.I don't think it's right to compare humans to an object or type of weather. I don't think we should fight the Germans . The reason i think that because they got in the war because of alliance. The war just started when one man and his family got shot. The two nations that are the ones who are actually in the war should be the only ones that should be fighting. The only reason we are fighting Germany is because of an alliance.

A war is like a fight between families. You don't know whose side to take.

This is a terrible war. This is the Great War. This war was started just because a man and his family got shot. The
I am afraid to kill just because of our allies.

Why i am going to join the military? I am going to join the military because I want to serve my country. I will join to protect my country.This is were all my relatives were born so i will protect our home. This is were my children were born so this is were all my grandchildren will live. That is why i will join the army.I was born here but The thing i fear about war is dieing. I don't want to kill, but i also don't want to die.Why are we in war?
When i think it's okay to fight in a war is when other countries are planning to attack us. I think it's okay to fight in a war when has something to us.We should fight in a war when we have allies in a war and when they desperately need help. A bad reason why we shouldn't find in a war is when it has nothing to do with us. I don't think it's okay to fight in a war to take over another country just for money. I don't think it's okay to fight in a war just to spread a culture. It's bad to fight in a war when we really don't have reason to.
