Lieutenant Jimmy Cross' Army

If I were a soldier in Lieutenant Jimmy Cross' unit, I would probably carry a lot of possessions outside of what I was required to carry. As a regular soldier, I would more than likely be required to carry guns, clothes, food, and all the other necessary materials a soldier carries. But I would also be very tempted to carry around many other things that were important to me.

If I was allowed to, I would more than likely have to have my cell phone with me. Now, I know in these earlier times, cell phones weren't around, but referencing in today's time, I would definitely like to have my phone with me, to be able to keep in contact with all of my family and friends and use the internet to keep up with news and current events that took place back at home. I would also definitely carry a few pictures of my loved ones so I would feel like I was carrying them along with me on my journey. Along with the pictures, I would always have with me some paper and pens in order to write home to family and friends, and I would also carry letters that had been sent to me, so that I could pull them out and read them whenever I felt homesick or sad.

Other items I would carry around would probably consist of toiletries and necessities. This would include toilet paper, tooth brush and tooth paste, a brush, deodorant, soap, and extra clothes for certain weather conditions, such as a good jacket or an umbrella for rain.

The final thing I would carry with me would be a camera to take pictures of all the amazing places I saw all over the world, and to bring back to my family to show them the journey I had been on. Many soldiers get to travel all over the world and visit countries they would not otherwise get to experience, so I would definitely want pictures. Along my journey, I would also always carry my special memories of times in the past with my loved ones, family, and friends.
