Here in Canada we celebrate Remembrance Day. We celebrate it on November 11th. Remembrance Day is held in memory of the Canadian soldiers who died during the war. In class we are writing stories and poems about Remembrance Day. We learned about when the soldiers fought in trenches over no mans land. Our teacher read us a book about life in the trenches. It sounded terrible and made me feel even more in debt to those who fought for our country. The book told us about things like “trench foot”. It is what soldiers would get from having their feet in the water of the trenches for too long. The book also told us about how the soldier would eventually have to leave their trenches and go into no mans land to fight. There would be a very good chance of getting shot. They had to go out though because if they didn’t their punishment from higher commands would be death! The soldiers would also miss their families because some wars like World War 2 can go on for 6 years.
