Write Letters to
Soldier Friends
As you read letters from the boys in the trenches or
camp, whether published in the newspapers or received
personally, there is one request they make that seems
universal among them —"write letters to us frequently."
Even though the boys cannot find time to write to you,
they welcome letters from home.
Put yourself in their place, hundreds or thousands of
miles from home, fighting for those they want letters
from. Having sacrificed everything to go among strang
ers not knowing whether they are ever to return, all they
ask is a few lines from home friends to know they are
being remembered and that their work is being appre
ciated.
But don't reflect a "long face" in the letters but make
them as cheery as possible. Instead of wandering up
and down the'street aimlessly for your own recreation,
suppose you spend an occasional hour and make a list
of the many boys you know over there. Even though
not real intimate they'll be glad to know you take an
interest in them and will appreciate the news items or
personal comments you make.
Start your pencil moving and you'll be surprised to
find how much you have to tell. The newspaper is filled
with daily commonplace affairs but we all want to read
them. So do not imagine that a letter is difficult to
write. The appreciation expressed by some soldier
acquaintance will more than repay you.
If you see some reference to a soldier in the papers
giving address where he is located ,write him telling how
you enjoyed reading of his adventure or whereabouts.
If he receives it he will most likely respond with an
interesting letter that will make you want to write again.
