My father has died and I am very sad. My mother and I want to go to France because it is right next to Belgium where we are, but I convinced mother that I had to join the army to protect Belgium �?my home and my birthplace, from the Germans.

We are in the trenches and I am very nervous. The Germans are shooting at us with their machine-guns and I am very scared that I will get hit by a bullet. If I survive, we will definitely go to France.
