Dear family,

I am a British soldier in the Revolutionary War. When we are out trying to conquer other cities, we have to bring the things that we need to survive. Some things that I have to bring with me is a tent to sleep in, dry foods to eat so I do not starve, and my weapons and ammunition. To the colonial army, we are known as the" Redcoats". We are called that because we wear red uniforms. For our weapons, we have rifles for everyone and a few people were in charge of the cannons when we were in battle. When I was in training camp, they were very mean to me. They were mean because they want us to be tough and be brave. I thank them for that. I have been in many battles in my lifetime. The one that I thought that I helped the most in was the Battle of Bunker Hill. I took down ten of their men with the cannon. The general thinks that I have the best aim with the cannon. Our army's living conditions weren't so great because the weather was bad most of the time. It was mostly rain and snow. If I survive, I should be home soon to visit you for a while.

Sincerely,

Danny
