Dear Dad,

It has been such a long time since you left for war.

Are you alright? Are you getting enough to eat in the trenches?

Mum has been really sad lately, looking at old photos of your wedding. We both hope you will be back soon. Our ration book is nearly out of coupons, but the neighbours slipped some bread under the door while we were out yesterday.

We can’t wait to hear back from you, and we hope you arrive home soon and we love you heaps,

Love from all your family xox
