Letter To A Soldier's Diary

Dear Mother, It’s been a long time since I had the opportunity to sit down and write you a letter. I miss you and father a lot. I am overjoyed to be writing this letter to you. The mood here is one of jubilation. Our assault on Vimy Ridge began at 5:30 am on Easter Monday, eight days ago. We lost a lot of good boys but I am so very pleased to inform you that the Canucks got the job done! What the French couldn’t do for two years and the Brits too we, Byng’s Boys did in three days. I was assigned to the front line in the trenches as part of the 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade attached to the 4th Canadian Division. This is actually the first time all four divisions got to work together as a unified Canadian Corps. They

“Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier” is a memoir written by Jakob Walter. Jakob Walter was a German soldier in Napoleon’s Grand Army. Although many soldiers have released and published memoirs describing their war experiences, Walter sets himself aside by how unique his is. Instead of using emotions to play into his story, he gives readers a day-to-day insight into the war life. A foot soldier is a soldier who fights on foot, also known as an infantryman. Walter was enlisted on three occasions. The first one being in 1806 when he was conscripted with his brother in the regiment of Romig. They were both active duty residing

During the years 1800 to 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte was preparing a large army. His goal was to spread the idea of the French Revolution and ultimately expanded France's bountiful pride and glory. The way this was going to happen, according to Napoleon, was through expanding French territory. In order to do this he would need a large army, so that involved enlisting men by conscription. The army was filled with French men, as well as men from Germany and other surrounding areas. The Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier looks first hand look at the life of an average soldier at the time, Jakob Walter. He was a nineteen year old german boy enlisted by conscription and assigned to regiment Romig, later known as Franquemont Regiment. In somewhat of

On the brink of war, with the enemy force appearing impenetrable and unstoppable, new Prime Minister Winston Churchill has the daunting task to rally parliament to enter the war. While speaking to the House of Commons, the representing body in the United Kingdom, he must not only create a lasting impression, but illustrate the logistics of the meeting as well as the dire importance of victory for the Allies. He opens with the immediate facts to answer any of the parliament’s doubts or concerns, then he focuses his attention to unity and expands his audience to the entire country of the United Kingdom to express the sentiment of unity and the importance of the call to arms.

But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire

As you know I am writing to you from the trenches of the western front in France. The United States of America joined this heinous war in the spring of nineteen hundred seventeen. We joined the fight because of the sinking of the Lusitania and when the German Kiaser sent the note to Mexico to convince them to put themselves against us to assure we will not go to war in Europe. That did not go through because the economic condition of Mexico is not that good enough to fight in a war with the United States.

Britain is thousands of miles away and we fought a war with them, and it will be worse this time because we are right beside each other. It’s like living in the same house with your ex-wife or husband. It wouldn’t work out that well. We also don’t want to do that because there will be many lives lost in the war we would

British are taking over, men are falling at gun shot, chaos consumes us all. There are countless deaths among us, the men fall from sickness and murder. With every fallen soldier there is another family without a son, father, or husband. This war needs to end, soon. I have decided to re-enlist for three reasons which are to fill in for others that left or died, the Congressmen are here to support us, finally if we do not win this war we are nothing but slaves to the British.

The Americans were more ideologically motivated than the British to win the war. They were fighting to win their political and economic independence and by the way if they had lost they would have been severely punished by the British. Meanwhile, the British had no significant ideological motivation for the war. The soldiers were merely doing their jobs. This intangible difference helped the Americans push on even when it seemed that the British were going to win, on the other hand, as soon as the conflict got too costly and politically opposed, the British grew less supportive of the war effort due to lack of passionate

It seems that a war between Great Britain and the United States is imminent. In preparation for this imminent war between Great Britain and the United States, the following is a missive that will report on the social, economic, military and political characteristics of the United States and how ready the United States will be prepared for an attack from Great Britain.

I liked how things are already I thought as I was getting ready for bed to think about re-enlisting. Paine 153 says “Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right but “TO BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,’ and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon Earth.” If we don’t win this war, our lives are going to be full with expensive government that rule without pity. “Tyranny, is like Hell, is not easily conquered , yet we have this consolation with us,” also said by Paine 153. You're worried about your aging mom and you miss you friends and family. If you quit and go back home, you get to live with taxes, tyranny, and fear. You and everyone you care about will be under this life. Far off, possibly unlikely, there is victory. The reason victory seems far, is because there are few soldiers that are fighting. I want to fight to make victory closer. This reason is pushing me to re-enlist because of what life would be back home. The choice to fight or not can will change on how you and the people you care about live. I fell asleep so sure of my

I can tell you favor playing the blame game. You’ve blamed Tories and England for being the problem. Blaming us for this atrocious war. Let me remind you that the Colonists started this. The minute one of your men put up arms against Crown, the game of war had begun.

Run! The British are coming. They don’t have all of their weapons that they need because the British are trained better than them. They want to defeat them and make them gone for good. Because of their loss of resources, they need to step up their game. They need to become better than they ever have before. The only problem is that they are the underdogs. They need to become more than the underdogs, they need to have a pep talk and create a turning point which will make a turning point in American History.

In Ernest Hemingway’s short story, “Soldier’s Home”, a young man named Krebs is unable to relate to his mother and home life after he returned from the First World War. After Krebs saw death and destruction in the wars most bloody battles, he returns home where his parents try to get him back to his normal routines. His view of the world has changed drastically since the war. He no longer feels love in his heart and cannot lie to his mother when she asks if he loves her. One of the famous lines Hemingway wrote, “Krebs looked at the bacon fat hardening on his plate.” Like bacon his heart has been hardened by what he had seen in World War I and he knew he must get far away from his parents to be able to get his life back

Churchill begins “We Shall Never Surrender” by providing vivid descriptions of the life and environment of war to describe the hardships, then follows up with showing that the strength that the troops had together helped them overcome specific events. He continues to use repetition to emphasize the importance of staying together and not losing hope in order to provide small victories, one at a time. Churchill’s courage to speak up during such a disturbing time helped assist the nations morality by providing hope and encouragement in the bloodshed time of war. When a nation felt defeated Winston Churchill used his powerful voice in “We Shall Never Surrender” to lift the nation’s spirits
