so that if the letters got into the wrong hands then the Germans would be unable to find out any vital information as to the British' plan of action. They also got censored so that people at home wouldn't worry too much and word wouldn't get out of the horrors of what happened in the trenches putting people off from signing up

∙ 6y agoLetters were mainly censored so the soldiers dont reveal any information that could be valuable to enemys if they got their hands on it.
Another main reason for the censorship that went on was that they did not want and details about the reality of war and how terrible it was to reach home because this could undermine the war effort.

Was there censorship in the Vietnam War?
Yes, military censorship existed in the Vietnam War. Military censorship helps hide important military information from becoming exposed to the enemy. Military information includes, but is not limited to, an ambush, night attack, or invasion. During the Second World War, censorship did not exist, though fortunately, the presence of the world's first atomic bomb was detected neither before nor after the bomb's creation. The Vietnam War was the first war to have censorship.
