Dear Mum and Dad,

This war is making me petrified. I wish I could get out of this horrible place.I have seen five hundred people drown because our ship is to big to go into shore, so we have to swim with our heavy backpacks on.All I can hear is bullets going through poor people's bodies. Then five seconds after they have been shot I hear lots of deafening screams and cries saying, “Help please!” but I know that they know there is no one to help them because, we have a shortage of hard working doctors. There are no rules to this war so those Germans are shooting at us like we are little ants getting squashed.I am shivering with fear when I am writing this to you. There's practically no point in have this war because so many people are dieing. I would estimate that over 5000 people have died today. I hope I’m not one of them…

I love you.

Love from amy
