In the 1914 over 103 000 young New Zealanders served overseas mostly as soldiers went to war. Just around 10 percent of soldiers were leaving NZ to battle the Germans and
trying to stop them from Attacking our land. Some soldiers though that it was an adventure but it turns out that it is real.
By killing others and battling other countries. Families were worried. There was shooting, killing, stabbing, and burning. We were defending our country For victory the world war 1 continued for 4 years and some of our Anzac soldiers died for us they mostly died for our country. And that was 18.000 soldiers that died.We felt sad my eyes were a little bit terry. It was very heart breaking for their families. Imagine there wives with no husband and their children with no dad. It was so emotional. We had to look at our own memorial that the soldiers.
Past away we had to stay there for a minute of silence. as I was looking at the memorial I was full of sorrow I was thinking about the crosses it was peaceful.There were heaps of thoughts coming to my mind. I said to myself maybe it's time to have a rest now it must of been painful for them to leave there family's and friends. To fight and go to war.
: lest we forget
THE END
Well done Simon. I really like how you've described how you felt because of the sacrifice these men made. Keep up the good work!
