letters of war

With this worlds vast assortment of communication it is hard to think that not to long ago we did not have such heavy means of convenient communication, such as, in World War I the solders had to send letters to their loved ones for any sort of communication. This about it it might take 6-8weeks of time for just a simple hello! With some cases being the letters never being sent out in the first place. The solders loved ones might even get a letter saying oh I am fine do not worry about me and in fact he was already dead 4 weeks before the letters arrival! Its hard to grasp how amazing that is. Still letters are a big moral boost for the troops. Receving a letter on your well being is usually well accepted. It can help show that someone your fighting for cares about you which in my opinion is one of the best sorts of moral boosts you can get.
