Well, here's the sequel to the "popular" story I wrote. Enjoy!

Letter 5
Dear Love,
I am sorry for not writing for so long, but here is the story of why I didn't. After the charge, I was the only survivor, the rest perished in the mud and blood in hail of life taking metal. I was picked up from the battle ground by a group of Germans on a scout mission. They bundled me on to a stretcher, don't worry my love I wasn't injured badly. They took me to their trench and placed me in their Infermery. I missed you everyday I was there. As it turns out, a frenchman by the name of Pierre was next to me. He spoke English and German and he told me that they were not going to harm us. For months I stayed in that hospital, all that time wishing that I was in your arms. This was until a group of our Lads got into the trench and saved me. Unfortunately, my good friend Pierre died in a shell explosion. I am fine, but they refuse to let back home you are going to have to wait that much longer for my return,
I will never stop loving you,
Colin 16th March 1916
Letter 6
Dear Love,
Again, I am in a British trench, but I wish that I was back in the German one. When they captured me, they could have tortured me into giving them information, but they chose not to. I see now that we are fighting against men, just like us, not the monsters we are led to believe. I miss the compassion and the love I thought people had, I miss seeing the grass, there is none hear, only mud and the dead. I hope I will see you again soon, my darling, but I fear that you would not recognise me for what I am now. No matter what happens, whether it be death or injury, I will never doubt the love I feel for you. The Captain has ordered another charge, even though I have told him of the land-mines and machine guns and begged him to reconsider,
all my love, never dying,
Colin 18th March 1916
