A Soldier's Journal
Chapter 1 "the call of duty"
March 14, 1940
My name is George Robertson. Three years ago on this day I was reading the newspaper when it all began… it started with a simple telephone call. I picked
up the receiver said "Hello, who may I ask is calling?" The reply on the other end was "This is Sergeant Wilcox requesting your services on the German
frontlines. As you know the second world war is happening right as we speak. Your country needs you. What do you say?" "hmph" I sighed " Might as well.
Nothing better to do 'round here." "Thank you sir. Your country is proud of you." I hung up the phone.
All day I sat thinking about the decision I had made. Finally my wife came strolling through the door with fresh bread and cheese for supper. A few hours
after my children, Scarlet and Andrew, came home from school it was supper time. A couple of minutes into dinner I figured it was time to break the news.
" Family" I said " Today, I made a decision. Three months from now, I will be in Germany defending our country." "Is this true?" My wife, Matilda,
asked."Yes" I replied " I'm afraid so"
