any letters today?

Today we have so many ways to communicate with the people we love. From friends to family members we always try to keep in touch with them any way we can. We are very fortunate to have new technology to be able to do that but I wish I could say the same for the soldier fighting in world war I. The frustrations I think that the wife’s/moms/ friends to either get the letter or send it out was the biggest most annoying feeling out there. Not knowing about a person you care the most must be horrible. The feeling that might go through their head is crazy they will never know that they could be dying or if they are hurt cause the letters wont go through the same day they wrote anything. I feel so sad for what they might of gone trough just cause if I ever stopped talking to my love ones I would dye. I can relate to them a little bit. I just feel they could have been worse for them.

It was the Gallipoli Campaign cost the Allies 141,113 killed and wounded and the Turks 195,000. Gallipoli proved to be the Turks' greatest victory of the war That conquered all. At the time - World War I, the Great War, saw the greatest number of casualties the world had ever seen. The total number of casualties in
World War I, both military and civilian, was about 37 million: 16 million deaths and 21 million wounded. The total number of deaths includes 9.7 million military personnel and about 6.8 million civilians. The Entente Powers(also known as the Allies) lost about 5.7 million soldiers while the Central Powers lost about 4 million. I think that what caused was the great number of casualties was duty, destiny, catastrophe, courage, rage, redemption, & a trump for human spirits.
