Letter to George Bollinger

This is a letter that I wrote during Literacy to send to a NZ soldier who fought in WW1 if he was still alive. If you look further down on my blog, you will see my presentation about George Bollinger. People from New Zealand treated him differently from everyone else during the time when he was alive.

Dear George,

I believe that you are now in France fighting against the Germans. I  heard about all the things that  people from New Zealand have done to you, they doubted you and didn’t believe you. I am very sorry that this has happened. I believe you when you say that you will fight for the British even though you are of German descent. I want to thank you being brave and volunteering to go back to war.Without the soldiers that fought, New Zealand wouldn’t be like it is now. Many people would agree that you are a very loyal to New Zealand no matter what culture you are.

Kind Regards

Ana, Class 3
