Hello family, I have been doing well since this battle has started. It has been quite tough carrying soldiers through these trenches. There are also some new illnesses from these trenches which are very dangerous so when ever i am down there i am extremely careful. Other then all of that I hope to be home soon and go back to work so that everything can be the same again. 
Love, Ross]]> 2023-01-17 18:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/scottduncan4/2t0a6jlmg9lxb9oq/wish/2447334030 scottduncan4 https://padlet.com/scottduncan4/2t0a6jlmg9lxb9oq/wish/2447338148 2023-01-17 18:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/scottduncan4/2t0a6jlmg9lxb9oq/wish/2447338148 scottduncan4 https://padlet.com/scottduncan4/2t0a6jlmg9lxb9oq/wish/2452099294 Our father bought this stove for our mothers birthday with the money he saved up while serving in the military.

Mother has made me stay in bed all day instead of going to school. I'm sure my friends are wondering where i am right now because i never miss school. Even though skipping school has been nice i really enjoy the company instead of my siblings. last week Lisa put toothpaste in my sandwich as a joke and once i told mom she laughed too. just because i am the youngest doesn't mean everyone should pick on me. that's why i like going to school because my friends accept me and don't do dumb pranks like that. - Penelope - March 12th, 1924.]]> 2023-01-22 00:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/scottduncan4/2t0a6jlmg9lxb9oq/wish/2452103322 scottduncan4 https://padlet.com/scottduncan4/2t0a6jlmg9lxb9oq/wish/2452104561 All of my siblings including me are adults now but both of our parents have died of old age recently My father was 79 and my Mother was 80 they only died a few days apart from each other.

It seems that we got lucky the other way since the german tanks never showed up so we were able to safely move some of the troops from france. Today we are going back for the rest of the troops that we couldn't find. Other then that i was also wondering if ill be able to see my sisters since they are pretty close to us and i havent seen them since i got here. Sylvesters seems to be fine but he seems pretty depressed; i guess he cannot handle all of the injured or dead soldiers we have to carry everyday. He also has been trying to become a airpilot so i guess i was right about him not liking this area of the military. i like it fine so if he manages to leave the medic unit i will probably end up going alone to find some more missing soldiers since i'm not close to anyone other then my brother.
