Dear Mum Jelsa

We are going to our deadliest battle now and I hope that you will be safe while I am gone. At night we heard strange noises coming closer to us but then we all woke up and started shooting the enemy soldiers

It was sad because some of us got shot on the head, neck, stomach, and heart. Our Captain Jacob was very sad that some of his best died. So we started planning what we were going to do next. In the morning we packed our stuff and started moving on.

But I am still alive mum. I hope that we can come back home because I am missing you very much.

Your loving son Ephraim
