	Dear Mother and Father,		Dear Mother and Father,

	I know that you have fretted over me ever since I decided to come here, but I am having a most wonderful time and learning to become a man at last. The lads like to tease me because I am so slight, just as they did back home, but with a [[rifle]] in my hands I am just as strong as any of them. Yesterday we stopped for a very pleasant afternoon in a small [[Belgium\|Belgian]] market square, sharing [[Tobacco\|cigarettes]] under the [[sun]], and this morning we marched alongside the {{Wiki\|Mons}} canal (Dad will be able to find it in our book of world maps, I'm sure). We're all ready and eager to face the [[Germany\|Germans]] and put an end to this silly [[World War I\|war]]. They've got to learn they can't bully the world like this, and we're going to teach them a lesson. I'll be back home in weeks and I can start work at the factory, just like you wanted. They won't turn a war hero away!		I know that you have fretted over me ever since I decided to come here, but I am having a most wonderful time and learning to become a man at last.
