6 ws!?
Well I would agree with the previous answer about the why - it's just asking why the private wrote it!.
The typical!.!.!.I thought that was like 'is this a typical example of British propaganda' etc!.!.!.so is the source typical of the way soldiers wrote about no man's land!?

Not sure if that's what you meant or not, hope it helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sorry, but I have little idea what you are on about!. I suppose the why of the source is why he wrote it, and whether he had a personal or monetary interest in putting his view over, but with 'the typical' you have me beat!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
