Dora Says Edward Was Almost Killed
Dear Readers,
Suddenly one day Chuck the mailman came running up to me while I was pruning the roses. He had a letter from my English lord in his hands. I could not wait to read it --- or so I thought.
Edward was almost killed at this place he has gone to in the Dardanelles called Gallipoli. The Battle of Gallipoli was a disaster for the British. Edward was the only soldier left of the unit of one hundred that he started out with. He even says that he is going to receive the Victoria Cross, like all British soldiers who survived. Imagine, getting an award just for surviving!
This Great War is no fun anymore. I don't want it to drag on to Christma, 1915. At this rate I might never see Edward again!
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
P.S. To think I thought the Lusitania was bad!
