We had a fantastic first week back in Golddale! Citizens of Golddale learnt all about our Anzacs and the importance of remembering our fallen heroes. We learnt about life in the trenches, read and listened to actual soldier's letters and even wrote our own diary entries, putting ourselves in the shoes of our soldiers.
Here is an example of a well written diary entry.
Dear Diary
The life in the trenches has been tough, the dusk of night creeping into our trenches, the rodents that are infecting our wounds. When the last post today half of our squad was dead, I was relieved I didn’t join the dead half. My auburn skin is hard to see in the dusky light. Our trench won’t hold for long. The moon illuminated a short part of the trench, I could see the expression on the others people faces, fear. They had seen their brothers die in front of them. The variety of food wasn’t pleasing, I wish I could have another sniff of your special home meatloaf.
Love from, JOHN CENA (Harry)
