April 25th 1915
Dear loving family
The war has begun and I can’t believe I have to
be a nurse. The only problem is I can’t stand being stuck on a boat for so
long. I still can’t believe I’m only 16 years old. Looking after the soldiers
is a pretty cool job. But so many soldiers have been shot some even killed in
action. I hate seeing all the soldiers’ dead or dying is a horrible sight
knowing that their families will be dreading the horrible news of how their
children have died in the war instead of old age.
Loving you dearly
Your wonderful daughter at war.
Ashlee!
