Matt Sanderson
With scruffy brown hair about two inches long and a wacky sense of humour, Matt Sanderson was recruited to go to WW2 when he was only 18 years old.
He could clearly remember the day, when sitting eating his dinner, he heard Sir Michael Savage giving a speech on the radio,
“We are now at war with Germany, with gratitude for the past and confidence in the future, we arrange ourselves without fear beside Britain. Where she goes, we go.
Where she stands, we stand.
We’re only a small and young nation, but we march with a union of hearts and souls to a common destiny.”
One day a letter was sent to 22 Sussex Street, Matt opened his front door to find a little envelope that had his name on it. He opened it and pulled out a piece of paper, it said a whole lot of mumbo jumbo, but the only thing Matt noticed was,
‘On September the third you, Matt Sanderson have been picked to go to war against Germany and Italy’.
Matt was so stunned that he dropped the letter and stumbled inside. He had experience with guns because he owned a Springfield rifle, but still he hated war.
It was January the ninth and Matt had been well trained over the last few months, but still he felt sick with nerves. Although he wasn’t looking forward to the war Matt was really impressed with the perfectly timed marching. It was so good it could send the enemy’s army back to Germany.
At that moment Matt knew that the war had started.

Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteGreat story! Do you think that Matt should have had a choice about going to war? Esther :)
This narrative is awesome. I especially liked that he didn't liked war but he had no choice.By the way I want to know if he comes back from the war.
