Letter Reflection

Writing my letters I learned  how different groups of people view things differently, for example how the wives and families of war members viewed being on the outside and just hearing what the war members sent them by letters and believing it. And for war members on the inside living it and seeing all these horrible things like friends dying and horrible tragic deaths. Also trying to avoid diseases because there was so many like trench foot, shell shock and also Post traumatic stress disorder. The battle I picked to talk about was the battle of Ypres, I talked about the Germans releasing chlorine gas and how the soldiers reacted to that to stay alive.  I also learned things like, how during the war families and wives would conserve food to send out to the war so that they could have supplies. To improve my writing next time I should proof read and and add more historical detail from the battle.
