Online lesson 8: Diary entry

It was a really tiring day today, digging those trenches was really hard work. We were building trench system of three parallel lines and communications trenches interconnected them. Digging these trenches was to ensure that we could maintain a good defense against anyone who dared to attack. Digging trenches was the best strategy. It prevented us, soldiers from getting shot down by arm fires. Although it was very advantageous, digging wasn’t easy at all. We had spent the past few nights digging these trenches so as not to be easily seen by enemies. Trenches dug were at least three meters deep and had to be zigzagged. I really hope this hard work we’ve put in to making this trench does not go to waste. We are almost done with the digging but even after that we would have to maintain the trench so that it will not be destroyed by the weather.

I am confident that we not fall easily thanks to the trenches we built. It will definitely be huge obstacle for our enemies to avoid. We too need to be ready to engage in a battle soon, I am sure that we will be victorious against the Germans when they launch their attack on us. I guess I should have some rest now, so that I’ll have energy to continue the hard work tomorrow.
