**//life of a World War 1 Soldier. //**

April 1 1917, Many Soliders in the war are going through many hardships including delayed visits to there familes and homes and also are suffering through many sicknesses and illness but I am still healthy. Many of the weapons we are using are very new to the me like the Winchester m1912, M1917 Browning machine gun, and the lewis gun. We sing many songs for fun some are new to me but I know alot of the ones we sing. There is a bad side to this all though since I am a Marine I must stay on ships for long periods of time and I am slightly ill, I am used to the ships movements by now but I am still sick and must go back to guarding the ship tonight so I hope this sickness is soon over talk back soon. April 17 1917, We have met up with british forces in Palestine and are finally off the ship too bad we have to start marching south. We are helping the british break the Turkish line of force in Southern Palestine where they have tryed to take the Turkish alone a couple years ago. There are a couple british tanks and many british machine gunners we are meeting other british troops before we get to the battle zone.
