Are you a young person
between the ages of 14-18?
Be part of the Passchendaele in the Classroom campaign
by penning a letter as if it were written during the First World War!
Consider writing from the perspective of
• A soldier to his wife from the battlefield
• A doctor or nurse treating injured soldiers in an overseas hospital
• A worker in Canada describing the conditions at home
Your letters will be judged by a panel of well known Canadians including
Adrienne Clarkson, Paul Gross and the last remaining Canadian First
World War veteran, John Babcock.
