Letters from the Front


Explore the First World War website and Canadian Letters from the Front to get a feel for some of the details of the front lines in Europe.  

Create an interview between a reporter and a soldier or a fictional letter home from a Canadian Man or women on the front lines. Assume the person has served in the Battles of Ypres, the Somme, Vimy Ridge and Passchendale.

Post your interview or letter on this site under comments (be sure to include your initials at the end so I can give you credit).  Your interview or letter should aim to inform the Canadian public at home about and include details about a minimum of 5 of the following:

·         trench warfare
·         life in the front lines
·        the roles of technology in the war
·         the quality of military leadership
·         morale of Canadian soldiers
·         the effectiveness of Canadian troops
·         hospitals and medical treatment
·         the roles of women in the war
