Responding to a letter 2

I am back with another responding to a letter from WW2 but it's not kind of like a text. Watch the movie below to listen to the two soldiers. Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment. Here is my response. I also learnt that in WW2 they shot their little brothers in the leg to send them home.

Dear  Jim O’Dwyer and Eric Henry,

My name is Aaron Khan and I am a Year 7 student from Point England School . I am writing to you to express my gratitude for what you have done for our country and people, during WW2. You have fought for our country to protect it.

I understand that you want your family to be safe and to have responsibilities as the eldest brother. I am glad you have a smart brain that to instead punch your little brother on the head instead of shooting them on the leg. I heard entertainment was top on the list, good to see you people taking an active role in it.

I thank you for fighting for our country. I feel what you have done to your little brother was right. One thing I still don’t know, did your brother came back home and, We will always remember you.

Responding to a letter

Today for writing, we watched a video then responding to it. The video was about a Tongan who was part German in the army forces. He requested to join the British and NZ army forces but they interned him because he was part German meaning he had to fight for Germany. He was trying to prove that he was Tongan but they rejected him again. Finally he sent the government of NZ a letter to go back to Tonga. We had the task to act as the government and respond. Here is mine response. Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment.

Dear Gustav,

I am very sorry you were interned as well as your uncle and that your beloved father died when you were very young. I understand that to be part german but born in tonga and raised by a tongan mother then joining the New Zealand army forces but then interned is really though when a person is partly from the enemy's culture. Very sorry the commanders did not understand. I trust you now because you have proven your rights to be part of the NZ army forces as well as the british. I grant you your freedom to go back to Tonga. Happy sailing.

From Aaron, Amazing government of NZ
