our World War

This is a very unique source as it is an interactive activity that has you follow the life of a soldier through the war. In my activity, I followed the story of Arthur Foulkes. This source is important because it helps you learn what soldier actually went through during this time. These soldier were young and had to make choices that could end their life in a spilt second. This interactive activity teaches you the smartest decision to make during war.

I would also have to say that this is my favorite source I have encounter in this course because it gives you a realistic and unique perspective of these men and choices they had to make.
