Well I'm planning on using line 9 and 10 (as they are joint): Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!- An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time. Do you think I should use a different line that would make my creative piece better?

This line is quite good tbh but it's really up to you. Choose one you feel most comfortable with :smile:

Well that's what I'm thinking to write about. How do you think I should do my creative piece of writing? I don't know which one to choose out of the following:
Letter from the trenches explaining relatives what's going on
OR
Flashback when I am suffering from shell shock
OR
Students visiting the trenches having the story retold

That's up to you it really depends what you feel most comfortable with and also which one you think you'd be able to analyse the best
