Found something interesting on Reddit which I would like to share with you guys - a Soviet soldier's last note before he died during the Second World War.
>This note was found with remains of three soldiers between villages Orlovka and Erzovka.
>"An hour ago Emelyanov Volodya from Bashkirya has died, and I Digen Vasily Nikolaevich am left alone. Fascists are conducting a harsh bombardment, I am injured and won't live long. At night remaining survivors from the company ran off [surrendered] to fashist scum, but retribution will still find them. I am staying here, will die, but not surrender to the enemy. Tell my wife Anna Fedorovna in Chkalov region that I defended the Motherland as best as I could. We will win anyway!!! 30 August 1942. Digen V. N. Avenge me, guys"

I have a letter written by my great-grandfather to his wife in 1917. He wrote it one day before his death, writing that he didn't feel too well, that they will most likely not see each other again and pretty much saying goodbye to her and their children. My grandfather was less than a year old at that point. He too fought in a world war but fortunately survived.
