War is nothing what I thought it was. theirs flying machines dropping bombs on us but the new artillery took it down. words coming in that we'll be getting more equipment from HQ. I hear that we're getting something that sprays flames from twenty feet away. ]]> 2018-02-26 23:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668207 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668219 2018-02-26 23:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668219 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668259 This war has become more and more unknown to the fighting soldiers. Fearful weaponry has arrived without notice. Today up in the trenches, I noticed a car-like machine with heavy plating and a long rotating chain moving it. Rumors said our artillery took it down in one shot later that day. THE NEXT DAY WE GOT OUR CHANCE. A propelling glider has arrived and bombed the enemy trench. We rush to only be bombarded by 3 machines spraying bullets at us.]]> 2018-02-26 23:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668259 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668260 I woke up in the morning today to the other soldiers screaming and yelling. Shots rang out but above all that noise there was an enormous rumbling. I ran out of the bunk room to see a steel behemoth cross the trench without a flinch. Once it was across it stopped, guns appeared poking out of holes in the monsters side and began to fire upon the soldiers scrambling in the trench, I escaped by running back into the bunk room and hiding in the back corner.]]> 2018-02-26 23:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668260 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668291 2018-02-26 23:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668291 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668314 Dearest wife
Today I woke up with a crawling burning sensation all across my body, nothing new, just a normal day, tears running through my eyes, I wont use water. It won't help, just spreads the gas, around lunch time they started the flamethrowers up and all the fire activated the gas from this morning, so I ran as far as possible, bringing water, blankets, and whatever food that wasn't crawling with mice as fast as I can and I didn't end up with much. Now I'm hiding, hoping they won't find me, maybe I am breathing to hard. maybe I will run out of water, maybe I will just die in my sleep. If i am going to die, I hope it's peacefully. I am writing this to you my dear, my loved one, my wife... To let you know that I love you and this is how I died. You of all people deserves to know.]]> 2018-02-26 23:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668314 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668330 Times are really difficult here. And even more so difficult because large metal birds are flying in the air. Thing are falling from the sky and harming us. The fall and we are ordered to run as fast as we can. Billy didn't run as fast as he should of and he was mowed down quicker than the kids run into town for bread. These metal birds can hold packages and large crates inside of them. it ain't nothin like i'd ever seen before. Things fall as solders die. They keep getting us while we are sleeping. It just aint the same. When we sit down and think we take a break, people are flying in the air and being transported from place to place like they are some box. When solders get tired they just leave and new ones are put in. ]]> 2018-02-26 23:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668330 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668334 My name is Bruce Stark and I am a soldier. When I ventured on the battlefield, there was this huge hunk of metal roaring down the terrain. I see explosions and gun fire that is so fast you almost wet yourself. Not only did I see these monsters, but I also saw this mechanical bird flying over me. These things were discovering our hidden positions and they filled the air with a loud noise. I was so scared, but on the battlefield you have to stay brave if you want to win the war. I see my buddies in the trench being blown up and I am thinking to myself, "My god where did he go!." Man these new technologies scared and changed the war so fast that I felt insignificant fighting on the ground. And don't get me started on the battleships, I never thought it possible that we will be shooting torpedoes and cannons at eachother in the water]]> 2018-02-26 23:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668334 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668348 I had no idea what I was getting into when joining the war. Today is my first day and I can't believe my eyes! I have seen so many things that I would have though was unimaginable yesterday. Things called airplanes, tanks, submarines, and so much more. Seeing all of this new technology I know I need to start being serious and live as if today is going to be my last. Unfortunately my death might come quicker than I was anticipating. ]]> 2018-02-26 23:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668348 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668366 When WW1 started, there was screaming and yelling. It was difficult to know what was really happening, and shots rang in my ears.  I saw people running toward the trenches, guns around them. Tanks were coming toward us, and planes were in the sky. I didn't know if I would see my friends again.

The new technology was so haunting, that not even a ghost could scare me now. The giant metal monsters with teethed wheels. The giant leviathan that shot giant bullets. A gun that shot streams of fire. Artillery that explodes within range. A gas that can kill in a fraction of a second. A flying metal bullet that drops bombs. An enormous ship that floats above a water surface. I'm so afraid of these, but if I watch I might just die. Even the trench will not save me, I ask it too but it always say, "I can't promise you." I wonder when will this ever end, every second feels like hours. Every hour feels like a month and every hour feels like a year.]]> 2018-02-26 23:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668430 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668447 World War 1 was a very horrifying thing. Being a solider is not easy, having to stick up for your country can be very dangerous. Lots of explosions, yet you never know when you could die. You gotta be careful and look around you. It is a scary thing to experience, but some may think it's worth it. In my perspective I'm being a hero for my country, and I will do my best to protect the people. Also, at any instant you could die because of a bomb, explosion, a gun shooting, an airplane crash, or poison gas, for their are so many ways you could die in a war.

I guess that's why my uncle used to tell me " always pour in the cereal then the milk". In order to dodge the incoming tanks I hoped in a brand new shiny flying air vehicle. I flew for a couple of minutes and landed on a battleship. The battleship had 5 more planes on it and had huge guns on the side. I hopped of the battleship and jumped into a submarine. I was underwater for about 2 hours. When I got to land I went to my local flamethrower store and purchased a flamethrower. I proceeded to burn down the store. After running out of fuel, I was under fire by a machine. After that i ate some poisonous gas because I was hungry. I died. Next I walked into my trench and lived there for 3-4 years. It was a good few years.]]> 2018-02-26 23:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668486 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668504 Today I heard a rumor that there are airplanes watching us. What is an airplane? What do they do? Im so confused. "Look! there's an airplane." I look up im so interested. Its so... so... amazing. I dont know what to say. I know the people on the plane are our enemies but I cant help it. I just stare. These things are so new to me . I dont understand how people invent these things.

I got my uniform on and walked with my troop. I heard a gun fire, and then all of a sudden it was like 100 guns were being fired at once. I was so confused and scared. We got closer, staying hidden in the bushes. I saw a man at the top of a cliff thing. He was shooting a gun that I have never seen before. One by one my team was being taken out. I shot and shot at the solider who was killing the team I fought besides for 3 years. I got hit in the shoulder, but I never gave up. I shot and shot en tell I bleed out.

I've cleaned up my friends bones and blood out of the trench, that is my new home, and I am like a child on a rainy day. Unable to play, but can look outside and see gloomy clouds and explosions of thunder. I have not understood why we fight over these things, but what people do to people is pepper to the eye. To see this monster machines take over the field is like watching as an elephant burrs its trunk into the other side, and watch them scream with fear in there throats.

The technology had advanced since the last. Your country could now attack from the sky or even under water. In war, the intent to kill more people faster had increased. I feel so vulnerable. I feel the muddy trench beneath my feet and see my comrades on the ground.. dead. I can feel no pain anymore. I am numb to the destruction around me.

Just like the lives of my friends I have lost in this war, I wonder when the sunset will go. The difference between the sunset and my friends lives is that one always comes back. Everyday I wonder if I will ever see the sunset again. I look at the beautiful colors of the sunset, the faces of my friends buried deep in the pigmented colors. As it passes I say a solemn goodbye to the colors, the faces, and the day with a hope that one day I will see the sunset from my old home.]]> 2018-02-26 23:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235668908 https://padlet.com/aheuberger/inxojwbtf56g/wish/235670167 Dear Margot, It is 8 - 8 - 1918. The war is a scary place. The Germans have very strange weapons that I have never seen before. They have these big rolling machine's called tanks. As well as big guns, flame throwers and artillery. It is scary but I am still alive. I plan to come home alive to you and our unborn child. Many people are dying every day all around me. None of us dare go to no mans land. Most of our deaths in the trenches are caused from diseases. I do not know what the disease is but I swear I will not get it. I think of you every day and you are why I fight! To keep you safe and bring you a good life back in England. Good bye till soon. I love you and Henry our unborn child.

Hunted by Germans for sport.

We watch through tears as they throw the bombs into our trenches.
How long? 1.... 2.... 3.... 4....

For example, the trenches were such a big help for the soilders. They made the soilders and people feel safe by having cover to not get hit. Also, it was much easier to take fire at others without getting hit or shot. I remember seeing big tanks and explosives attacking us and many people getting injured. I saw many flames burning stuff down and bullets getting as close as of inches from my head. Many planes flying over our heads nearly blowing people in too pieces.
