W.A.L.T describe what life was like for men and women in WW1 through a diary entry.
28th July 1914
The days since you left have been miserable.
I have to wash the clothes and clean the house.
Oh how I have missed my brother Ted, I hope he's still alright.
I have to look after the kids and find food like apples and potatoes to make apple crumble for them to eat.
I have to work on the farm. I’m really worried about Ted joining the war.
I just want him safe at Gallipoli. I want him to make friends to look after him and he look after them.
I hope Ted is alright, I just don’t want him to die.
