. FRENCH ARMY SOLDIER Dear Diary, July 30, 1914 Today, I was in a trench battle with the Germans. This battle was a huge one, there were trenches all over the place. I would say a bout 400 miles, from Nieuport, Belgium to the Swiss border. As a French soldier, I have been in this war for a while. I am getting tired and hungry. I have sent several letters to my wife and 2 kids, Francois and Melanie in Paris.

Diary Entry 2: September 7, 1914

Dear Diary, today was a very rough day. We had a battle on the Marne River, in the mother land right outside of the capital, Paris, which is also the home of my family. Sargent Joffre commanded a very tough battle. This battle was very tough because Germans were attacking from the air in planes and dropping bombs and also with tanks and machine guns on ground level. Fortunately, I made it out with a few cuts and bruises but tragically, we lost many men in the battle. One of them, my best friend, Jacque, we gew up together in the city of Orleans. We played soccer nearly every day at a park. We as soldiers are low on food and supplies.

December 26, 1915 Diary Entry 3: Dear Diary, We are hungry, cold and exhausted. My socks have holes, I am low on beans and milk and I can't afford new supplies. I have suffered from frost bite several times in the last year. Now with the snow falling in the mother land, men are starting to die from freezing to death. It is the middle of winter and my country remains one of the main powers. Most of the battles take place in the Western Front in small countries such as Luxembourgh, Switzerland, and Belgium. I have severe frost bite and trench foot, a very painful disease. I miss my wife, Amy. The nurse, Rebecca says I have life threatening conditions but I am going to try my best to fight it and return to Paris with my family. This might be my last journal entry because of my health, if it is then God Bless my family and the Motherland. Go Allies. Tell my Family I love them if I pass on.
