Trench life

Life in the World War I trenches was defined by extreme filth, fear, and monotony, featuring constant danger from artillery and snipers. Soldiers lived in waterlogged, narrow ditches plagued by rats, lice, and "trench foot" and diesease. Daily life was a mix of intense combat, repairing defenses, and intense boredom with soldiers staying in trenches fior around  4-7 days before getting swapped out.

the health and mental strain were extremely horrible , with the trenches infested in rats and pests  which carried disease , they barely ate and all they ate were rations eg: hard biscuits and canned beef  , and soldiers barely had any sleep leading to exhaustion. due to the psychological strain, fear and bombardment soldiers often developed severe mental problems later known as shell shock or ptsd

the space surrounding them was a dangerous stretch of plain land known as no mans land and was incredibly lethal,. at night soldiers took lethal missions of night rades, determined to get information and captives or attack unexpectedly for an upper hand.

gas attacks, bombing and shooting were always constant threat so soldiers were always expected to be ready and alert, due to the trenches bieng boring inside soldiers would  play cards, sing songs, write letters, tell storries and create art to break the boredom.
