Harry's War - Letter to Ted

Week 1 Reading Task

Text: Harry’s War by Mark Derby (School Journal L3 June 2014)

Using the text, create a short letter from Harry to Ted. In this letter, Harry is going to tell Ted that the war is over.

Think about:
  • How Harry feels at this moment in time.
  • How Harry believes the other soldiers feel at this moment in time.
  • What Harry misses the most about home.
  • What Harry is least looking forward to on the trip home.

Dear Ted,

Hey Ted, it is tough her at war. I am super exhausted and really worried. I hope that I will live for long enough to see you again. I miss you though. You would know the feeling if you were here. Many Blessings!
Kind Regards,

From Harry
