My dearest parents,

 I am writing this letter to reveal the horrendous conditions I am experiencing but all in all, I am quite well.  I hope things are quiet with you.  Here, we have many types of soldiers and I was appointed as a pikeman and pikemen act as the main defensive in the war. As a pike man, my role is physically demanding and tough as it requires someone who is selfless, courageous,   and self-confident. In addition, one is required to possess military drills so that the soldiers can maintain one way on the battlefield. While in the battlefield, we normally wear back and breast armor, a helmet, tuck, a snivel gear (during cold weather) and we are provided with 16-foot pike. I can say that we are well-protected and these weapons help us withstand the enemies. Since I entered the battlefield, I and other pikemen have fought one of the battles and so far no one has lost his life, though our manpower is affected by the horrible trenches. We form up a group of twenty pikemen in one troop and as we enter into the battlefield, we form a zigzagging walk until we combat the enemies. Comics and commo also help us receive meaningful information and identify kinetic enemies. I would proudly say that the last thing we expect as soldiers is being shot and to avoid being shot, we use common sense and employ some tactics to ensure that the enemies do not see us. We also have a perfect captain in our battalion who gives us support, management information, make decisions, and coordinates our operations. Also, I would like you to know that we are fighting multiple we value teamwork and employ various countermeasures to confuse the opponents.

  During the part-time, we engage in aerobic activities to stretch our muscles to build stronger muscles and maintain our well-being. We also do patrols and dig trenches during part times. The trenches are dirty and smelly due to overflowing toilets, dead rats and cats. I prefer not to describe the condition since they create a poor living condition. We are suffering from trench food disease and trench fever. We are forced to hide for more than 4 days in these muddy and uncomfortable trenches before going to the rest camp that is few miles away.  While in the trench, we suffer from upset stomachs since there is a shortage of food. Trench warfare is the horrible condition that I will never forget as it has caused a massive impact on our lives.

After the battle,  we close up together and return to the campsite where we take off the armor, take a rest, sleep few hours,  take a plonk, play card games, an prepare in the daily chores the following day since this is an endless battle. Despite the challenges that I am going through as a pikeman, I am glad to write this letter to let you know that I am in good health and foods are pretty good. During breakfast, we take bacon and tea, at noon we take mashed potatoes and other types of food with adequate nutrition so that we can increase our military capability.  In general, the main breakfast includes porridge, bacon grill, and drinking chocolate, lemon drinking powder, and the main food include garden peas, potato flakes, and rice. Food and water are available in terms of quality and quantity and we are able to improve our mental performance and heal our wounds since we are vulnerable to injuries in the battlefield.  The management of food safety in the campsite is good and thus we are not vulnerable to foodborne diseases. Despite the few challenges, everything is moving fine.

With the truest love
