The last thing I remembered was the feeling of my skin deteriorating to pieces and my breath quickly going away.  It felt worse than hell itself. I thought it was over then and there. That was the last thing I remember about that day. I woke up at the bunker a few days later. I learned the damage done to my body and that I was one of the few survivors to survive the bomb attack later known as Poison Gas. I could no longer fight in the war as my body was crippled. I forever fear the poison gas as I survived it and I know exactly how it feels. The feeling of being burned as your skin blisters and your insides becoming inflamed. It was nothing more then hell. you feel as you do not want to survive anymore and your body is forever scared.]]> 2018-02-27 22:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236190945 burned my eyebrows https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191008 2018-02-27 22:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191008 WW1 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191100 All the new technologies are frightening... there is poison gas, big green vehicles, guns that shoot fire, and trenches in which disease runs rampant throughout the soldiers. Somehow, the trenches are one of the scariest pieces of new technology, especially the front lines. Everyone knows that death is imminent, and I'm starting to believe them... I heard that the French were in their trenches and that they were hit with the poison gas from the Germans, that 2 divisions were eliminated in that single attack. Russia and France were targets of this deadly gas, and I fear I, along with my fellow soldiers, are next. This is something that nobody should experience. We haven't gained an inch since we started this war, and I pray that this truly is the "war to end all wars"...]]> 2018-02-27 22:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191100 World War 1 POV https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191112 The first time I was really scared was when I saw this huge hunk of metal in the sky. At first I had no idea what it was then later on I found out from a fellow soldier that it is a plane. When I first saw it, it frightened me. My first thought was to run for cover but I couldn't because I was in the middle of a fight. I was so focused on the fight rather than the plane, I didn't realize that the plane was firing bullets at us! I quickly got in a trench that was a few feet away from me, desperately trying to dodge the bullets. But alas I wasn't quick enough, I got shot in my left shoulder making my way toward the trench. Once I got in the trench I ripped a piece of my shirt off and tied it a little bit above the bullet wound to try and stop the bleeding, so I wouldn't bleed out. The plane was still out there so I grabbed rifle and tried to get a clear shot at it, but once I fired it barely left a dent in it. Next I grabbed a grenade that was near me and threw it with all I had toward the plane...it hit its target and the plane went down. I never felt so happy and relieved in my life when I defeated the evil plane]]> 2018-02-27 22:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191112 ww1 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191209 i jointed the war to my country but i wasnt exspecting there to be the things i saw in the years i was there. i saw flames that shot out of meddle tubes and cars cars with guns strapped to them. i remember when i got to the camp i was young meaby 25 or 23. they prepared us for the dangers that were to come but they didn't prepare us for what was new. they let us out for the for the first time and what we saw was burning body and bubbling flesh and big tire trackes. all the sudden we heard a big boom from the left and we were blown off the gown into the air. the fall took the breath away from me and i had to take a few seconds in cover to regain my strangth we reached the front line and it smelled horrible like blood and gunpowder. i tried to shot as well as i could with what i had but i the end u can only do with want u got and i aint got much so i ran to get better weapon but on the way i relized that my was breathing a light but burning in my throught. i passed out with in seconds of breathing the gas. that was my last day on earth i was never identifyed and my family still hopes i come home soom but i know i wont. ]]> 2018-02-27 22:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191209 WW1 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191232 2018-02-27 22:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191232 WW1 Experience https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191536 During WW1 new technologies were made. This includes machine guns, flame throwers, artillery, tanks, trench warfare, poison gas, airplanes, battleships, submarines. While I was fighting in the war, the technology that my soldiers and I feared the most was poison gas. I would say poison gas because you don't know where the gas is, you cant see the gas. Therefore, you could be walking into poison gas and not even know. I believe that the technology that changed how the war was fought is Airplanes, because when WW1 took place , airplanes just came out so this piece of technology is all new. Additionally, the technology that left the most long lasting impact on the future warfare is tanks. This is because the wars no days use a lot of tanks. While I fought in WW1, it was a scary experience for me. It was my first war that I fought in. ]]> 2018-02-27 22:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191536 I am Joe Arnold I saw a very huge machine. I have never seen this before it was very scary. I saw this machine destroy through buildings, people wouldn't stop shooting it but nothing happened it just kept going. This machine was bullet proof https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191617 2018-02-27 22:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191617 the machine gun has revolutionized the battle field before it would take 5-10 mins to take someone out with the musket now it takes like 1 min to kill 10 people with a machine gun. Also the trenches has worked so well for us because now we can hide https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191649 2018-02-27 22:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191649 WW1 Experience https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191842 2018-02-27 22:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191842 ww1 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191845 Hello, my name is mr pitiful soldier man... I fought world war 1 when i was 10. I died from a airplane, shart I was soooo scared before I died, I didnt even know what killed me. It was a big alien hovercraft, i swear to god i got abducted by aliens who liked to shoot me. I don't know exactly what happened, because everything became blurry. I wasn't trying to hurt anybody, all I wanted was to make my daddy happy... He told me if I went to war and killed people he would finally do that thing i always wanted]]> 2018-02-27 22:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236191845 WW1 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236192231 Today I went against a battle with a submarine.  I always thought that it would be a good idea to combat, against other battle soldiers. But at the end of the day I realized that I was wrong after all. I never realized how dangerous it would be to be a soldier with a submarine. As I was battleing against other soldiers many soldiers kept shooting out bullets from their guns. Their guns were packed with bullets, and as I started running for my life. Soldiers were blasting bullets everywhere, against my side, against the top of my head. A bullet slammed across my head, and hit me right in the heart. As I started to bleed across from me their was another soldier next to me laying dead. As I started to see the rest of the soldiers who didn't make it out alive. My worst fear as being a soldier was if I was ever going to die, and never see my family again. But I knew I was strong enough to take it all in, as a soldier. ]]> 2018-02-27 22:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236192231 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236192381 the flame thrower hit me in the back my whole back was burnt, i could barely walk , about to die , when i see a tank ]]> 2018-02-27 22:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236192381 It is the war i've seen many things a lot of them scary. But I think I will tell you about these. So one day we were all in the trench and this big bird like thing flew over me it was a plane. It scared me but theres more. So one day the sargent brought me something different than my old muscet. It was my new machine gun shot lots of bullets at once. Also we were walking a smelt this horrible gas. one second later everyone was on the ground and I was a lucky one who got away. But thats just some of the things us usa soldiers went through to serve our country. https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236193068 2018-02-27 22:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236193068 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236193077 I went undercover while shots were fired. My bestfriend was fighting hard when he got shot. I ran to him to help, not thinking about getting hurt myself. I put my hand on the bleeding wound. I could feel his physical pain emotionally. I watch him take his last breath of undenying pain. As i take my hands away from the wound, I get a sudden feeling in my stomach to fight harder than before.. I hear something behind me fall to the ground.. I do not see anything, therefore I assume it was my mind playing tricks on me. In minutes, I smell a disgusting scent that wont escape my nose. My skin burns as if I am laying on a stove top.I breathe it in, but i am drifting away, breathing it out of my lungs, I try to escape, but my throat closes tighter and tighter until I cant feel any air pulsing my lungs. Before I know it, I am gone. Almost, almost, almost. There is nothing I can do. ]]> 2018-02-27 22:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236193077 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236193088 During WW1 new technologies were made.

Back in day there were weapons that traveled but were more deadly than anything. Like airplanes, battleships, and submarines. The first time I saw an airplane in the sky I thought I was the most majestic thing I thought back then, until it started shooting down at us. If you were to have a war near the water the battleship would throw cannons into the trenches, and it would explode. The most terrifying one of them all was a submarine, because that was the one thing that killed me. I thought the war had been over, and that they have left, but they were still there we just didn’t seem to know that. We all came outside of the trench, and that's when they threw fire at us. None of us lived to go back to our family. https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236194988 2018-02-27 22:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236194988 WWIIn the past when I was in war, it was known to be one of most awful thing known to the soldiers who fought for our country.

I saw this thing destroy through buildings. Everybody tried shooting it but nothing happens. This very huge machine was bulletproof. Then I saw a man with a machine gun on top of the machine he was shouting at my base with a machine gun. I saw this man with the machine gun kill a lot of my people. Then the big machine started to shoot of its point. When the big machine shot off the long steel tube it make a big noise. When the bullet of the big machine hit something It exploded all over its surroundings. I saw the explosion demolish lots of my people. Towards the end I asked what that thing is, the people said its a tank. I was very scared at the end I was very mad and went towards the tank then I killed the guy with the machine gun. Next I went inside the tank I killed the guy then I was very proud of my victory. https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236195384 2018-02-27 22:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236195384 Submarine https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236195954

I am at war fighting for my country. There is many new technologies and life threatening weapons. Everyday, when I wake up, I’m afraid that it might be my last. My family is who pushed me to fight for our country. These new developing technologies are scaring me. The future centuries will be thankful for the time I fought for and everything I did for our country. The scariest moments is when there’s bullets that pass 2-3 cm away from my head. All I can see is all the bullets in the muddy, brown mud left from the machine gun. Then there’s the trench warfare that has helped us survive, but not all survived. There was some of my partners that were unfortunate and didn’t make it. That is what hurts the most seeing my partners being killed right in front of me. I see a green thing coming my way. The day, my partner had been shot right in front of me hurt the most. We had been fighting for years until this day. It was November 7 and I had turned and he had been killed right in front of me. Minutes after his death, I felt my side burning. I had been targeted with a flamethrower. My life was ending. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236196610 ww dead https://padlet.com/aheuberger/7n8l7sfnql9d/wish/236196723 My life as a soldier wasn’t even a life at all. Everyday, men dead, the next, more men dead. You’re having breakfast with your friends, and then you’re burying there burned bodies by lunch. You’re dead by different ways. A flash of a flame, the sound crack of a tank, or the snake hiss of a gas canister. Either way, you’re dead

The captain said this war will end all wars because it will lead to the destruction of the sorts of governments and attitudes that caused this war. There's this weapon they made and its terrifying it's called a flame thrower the germans also have this weapon. Last week I walked by my captains tent and over heard him say, “We need to start sleeping in trenches because one of our teams that were camping out and the germans flamed them to death.”  Yesterday we were battling in the trenches and one of our soldiers entered no man's land and he didnt live. On the same day I got hit in the shoulder and i've never felt anything like a bullet going straight threw my shoulder tearing flesh and skin and breaking small pieces of bone in my shoulder.

 I am a soldier I see man die everyday. I see man getting burn to death by a machines the shots flames and see  man getting shot by these new guns. I lived in a trench for months is was cold,wet and dirty. it was really hard to get any sleep when you live in the trenches.  I could see these loud flying machines the machines were dropping bombs on us. I see blood and dead bodies everywhere I hear screaming and  guns. I was shot by a  gun I could feel the bullet in my stomach scraping in my insides I was choking on my blood could feel the bullet killing me slowly. Taking my last breath I could hear bomb and guns and man screaming could see blood  and limb everywhere.
