MY WAR CHRISTMAS

am a little girl that lives in
village in southern England. My
father, mother and brother are do
ing something, for our country. My
father and brother are fighting and
my mother works in a warehouse.
My little brother and ! work in a
garden not far from town. At day
break we start to work and just as
evening is coming we start home.
We live in a cellar down in the
ground where it is very cold. We
live here because there are German
airplanes around a great deal of the
time and if bomb should be drop
ped it would not hurt us.
Before the war began we had
such a lovely Christmas. When we
came downstairs there was a love
ly yule log on the fire and beau
tiful tree but now everything is diff
ferent, fol- we will have only little
food, but am happy because when
! save others can have more.
When the was is over we all will
have as much as we want.-Annie
