Soldier working in the trenches

Three paragraphs


I am a Soldier and i work in the trenches. The trenches that we work in are usually seven feet deep and 6 feet wide. It is impossible to see over the top of it. The trenches are not dug in straight lines or else or enemies would be able to go down into our trench and make a straight shoot at us. We had to place Duck-boards at the bottom of our trenches to protect us soldiers of trench foot. Trench foot is when you walk on the bottom of the trench and our feet get wet and cold and we suffer from it. The only thing that you can do about trench foot is to continuously change your socks and even that sometimes does not work.
We recently got combat vehicles. They are very nice to have. We can drive around down in the trenches now and also when we aren't in the trenches. It was hard to get them down there but now that we have had them down there for a while there is tracks and so we can drive them in and out of the trenches now. It is nice to have them down in the trenches because then we don’t have to walk around everywhere down there and risk getting trench foot. We also don’t have to climb in and out of the trenches we can just ride in the combat vehicles.
We also recently received machine guns. We are all very happy about the machine guns because usually when our enemies come we don’t stand a chance when they open up their machine guns. We have the machine guns a little in front of our lines that way we have a good view of everything in the battlefield and know if our enemies are coming. There are many less people that are dying because of getting shot now that we have our own machine guns i think our enemies will be a little more afraid to come back when they see our machine guns.
