We are\u00a0 learning\u00a0 about\u00a0 WW 1.\u00a0 We\u00a0 are reading about Billy\u00a0 Stevens\u00a0 and\u00a0 his\u00a0 friend\u00a0 Rob. They want to sign up for the army but they are only 16 years old.<\/p>\n
Billy wanted to go to the front lines with Rob but he was sent to the Engineers – they fix telegraph wires and repair communications.<\/p>\n
The trenches were dirty with rats all year round but the rats were the size of cats!\u00a0 The rats were so used to sharing with soldiers that they didn’t run away and hide.\u00a0 Sandbags were used to hold the walls in and also wood.<\/p>\n
The engineers had dug outs to store equipment and supplies. They also used them to sleep in.<\/p>\n
I am enjoying the topic – I am really fascinated about it.<\/p>\n
