The Diary Of Blair Dockery
For Anyone Who Is In to the whole war thing.
August 2nd 1914
It all began with one signature. I had no idea where I was headed from here. All I knew was it would be a new adventure and with tons of thrills..Or so I thought. Never did I think of all that would be left behind.
"Blair please oh please don't go" Tommy cried. I hugged him tight with my all. "I'll be back, I promise. When this is all over we can live together" I said with a slight smile. The smile I got in return was the saddest smile I had ever seen. Little did I know it was the last I would see of this boy and the last I would see of my heart.

The ship ride overseas was nothing more than regret and grieve pulling me down, But what choice did I have. There was no going back, neither was there a chance of knowing what lay ahead.
August 8th 1914
As we dug out our trenches something didn't seem right. Sgt. Cooper Duncan was scouting our area. Nobody seemed to have the same feeling as I did. We dug deeper and deeper. As far as we needed.
September 8th 1914
One month later I had received a letter. Tommy was doing great. I was happy to hear. Our daughter Charlie had become pregnant. Oh joy. Then again maybe it was the heartache of not being there to support them. Or maybe just the deep feeling of no longer being with my family. I swerved to my left only to see the last of Sgt. Cooper. The land mine exploded and dust rolled out. I should have kept my mind on track. "DOCKERY" Lieutenant Conrad Yelled. I looked at him still in major shock. "WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING SOLDIER DON'T JUST STAND THERE MOVE" He commanded. I ran towards my Sgt. and yelled for help. He had become my friend over the month we had been here..Now only in my heart would he stand as my friend.

Sgt. Cooper didn't make it. Not only that but more was to come. Everything around us was like war in well you get my point. What was our chances now, But then again I guess it's up to us how that's to work out. Nobody else. The thoughts of family and friends waiting for us kept us going no matter what. Not many smiles were seen but what could you expect. Life here would forever change. I would either go back as a stronger person or not go back at all.

Weeks later we sat cooped up in our own area. Anybody here would agree with me "no-man's land" is not the place to go. The fear we had of entering that area was indeed strong, But the need to help our country was greater.
