Each morning around dawn, soldiers would stand up for an enemy attack they would guard their front line trenches. Afterwards if there hadn't been an assault the soldiers gathered for inspections, breakfast etc. Following all that soldiers undertook any number of chores, ranging from cleaning latrines to filling sandbags or repairing duckboards. During daylight hours, they conducted all work below ground and away from the snipers searching rifles. Soldiers also read, kept journals, wrote letters. Nighttime in the trenches was both the busiest and the most dangerous. Under cover of darkness, soldiers often climbed out of their trenches and moved into No Man’s Land, which was the landscape separating the two armies. Here, work parties repaired barbed wire or dug new trenches

Living in the trenches were not something you would want to do. The trenches included pests living in them as well, rats, lice and frogs. These pests got into the soldiers food and would eat about everything. The lice was a huge issue as well, the lice would make the soldiers ich horribly and cause a disease called trench fever. The weather made the conditions worst. The rain would cause the trenches to flood and be filled with mud which didn't allow water to pass through. The mud would get stuck into the weapons which would make the weapons stuck. Trench foot was one of the most common "diseases" in WW1. If trench foot could not be treated they would normally amputate the foot. Another reason Weather had a huge impact is because the cold would cause the soldiers to loose their toes and fingers from frostbite.

Trenches were a long narrow ditch in the ground where soldiers lived during war this is where they did everything had food, sleep etc. They were always muddy and uncomfortable. These poor condition caused some of the soldiers to have medical problems like trench foot. These trenches were used to house soldiers during their time to fight in the war, they were like the home base. They had medical, ammunition and many other major priorities in the trenches.

Soldiers had to wash their feet very often, and would have their feet checked by a officer.

The French trenches were one of the worst in the war. The trenches were filled with mud, and were not the safest living conditions, and were not built and prepared as well as the Germans.

My reaction to the trenches that these man had to fight in is amazed. The soldiers had to be away from there families and had to deal with the worst conditions and has little food and had no freedom which I wouldn't be able to do I coulnt stay awa from my family for that long. The trenches were a awful space and I was super interested in this topic and I want to continue learning about it. It was very interesting to read how the trenches were used and who they were used by. My take on this whole chapter is that these were the bravest men and the strongest to be away from what you love and your family and to try and survive and having to deal with the aftereffects of war.
