Finally we have done the war and we have lost a lot off people. I hope that I can get them back to life. I was really scared from every thing around me. I can’t wait to be back home and hug my mom and see the people around me and smiling to me and waving to me like the first day when I was going to the war. Really I was thinking that I would not come back home a life. I was sad that and I felt sorry for the people who didn't came back with us, the army was proud. It was really bad when we told there families about some of then have not come back with us they where really sad and they start caring. I was really proud from my self and my mom was really proud for me. I don’t want to go back to a war. It was really bad because I saw a lot of bad things like dead people and a lot of other things. The most thing that was really bad to me that I missed my family and my house. I hope that it will not be other war again I don’t want to miss more people.

Next day i woke up and saw a horses ran with the men , pulling cannon on wheels. There is some soldiers was screaming because they get hit in the hand and some of them was covering their staff. Far away, the battle flag was falling and there was a smoke and fire all around. I saw the blue solders running into us and shouting ant there sounds mixed with the fire shooting. I saw the fear on there faces. I was thinking to run away but my legs refused to move. A young officer stood back of the regiment. " Don't fire boys! wait until i tell you! Wait until they come close!" We stopped the fire and suddenly a crowd of enemy soldier came running across the felid, shouting wildly. I saw the officers stayed behind the soldiers, shouting orders. I was shocked, i thought that he must move with as and fight, not just standing and giving us orders. They enemy through the thick smoke a man dropped his rifle and run away screaming an officer stopped him and start looking to his eyes, he push him back to the line.

We camped near a forest. I was afraid from the forest, "Maybe the enemy hiding there!". I was watched the forest carefully. In the next early morning we moved in to the forest we walked for hours without stopping. The soldiers was unhappy some of them left their staff in the ground and they walk away from it because it was really heavy. So they can movie quickly we still looking for a new regiment. I thought that it's not a real war I think that it's just a practicing. Then in gray morning the army began to run. I woke up and start running away from them i was really afraid to falling down. My heart was beating very fast i was surprised that they where not a big battlefield.It was a small green fields with trees all around them. I saw a solider laying in the ground dead, with broken arm. I don't want to see this again in the same time i don't want to see the battlefield. We stopped in a large open space in a forest, we still hear the sound of rifle fire. They could see little balls of white smoke from the rifles. Many of the soldiers built a hill in front of then to protect them selfs from the fire shooting. Suddenly the loud soldier came to me and i saw the tears in his eyes, he was shaking and he told me "I'm going to die" he give me a small package in a yellow envelope. He told me "There are some letters inside. I want you to give them to my family."

The next morning, they army said that they want to move the camp because the other army is in front of then across the river. So we moved in to two tall blue lines. I saw some of the solider where laughing and they where not thinking about the battle. I think that i'm the only one who's thinking about the battle, i was asking my self the most question that i hate, That if i'm in a battle will i run away or i will be parve and fight. In our why will where discussing and talking about the battle. I tried to scarer the soldiers and i said in a loud voice there is a sound something a fire shooting and i was thinking that the soldiers will be afried   from the sound. They start laughing and some of then was happy and some hey don't care and they start smiling. We reached the new place where we are going to camp. I went to quiet night and i lay in the soft grass. I looked to the moon and o said that i don't plunge here i wan to go back to the farm and the house. I start thinking over and over. I was tired from thinking i go back to the camps and i slept after a long day.
