Sojier Spell, Quiz #1

Last Updated: 07/17/97

A very important part of the soldier's life was the exchange of letters with his family and friends back home. Many soldiers were well educated while others had only a rudimentary education or none at all. When writing letters to loved ones, soldiers often spelled phonetically and creatively. Today, we may laugh at the misspelled words but if one reads the original letters, the mistakes made are more than made up for in the thought, observations and depth of feeling they convey.
