It was hard to go day to day knowing that we would lose. The worse part of the trench life was the fact that the place we would now call home was overpopulated with rats. It was hard to escape disease in the trenches. So many people from my section often died from things like trench foot. People from my section died from disease than combat. #trenchlife #hardtimes]]> 2019-01-16 15:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ssmith80/8z4xpnpgdbzz/wish/321264423 https://padlet.com/ssmith80/8z4xpnpgdbzz/wish/321264431 Life in a trench is a rough one, there's rats the size of cats, the food here is awful, and it constantly smells like death. The worst part though is that the second you get close to someone, they die. Charlie died, Danny died, and Miles was shot in the leg (He's doing well now). That's how it is here though, every second is treated like it's our last since it very well might be, no one thinks they're making it out of this war and I think they're right.

Many other soldiers where dying from either disease. trench foot, and getting killed in general. It was full of sadness and fatigue. #dontwannatalkaboutit #ww1 ]]> 2019-01-16 15:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ssmith80/8z4xpnpgdbzz/wish/321266841 https://padlet.com/ssmith80/8z4xpnpgdbzz/wish/321267252 The trenches reaked with the smell of death and infections. Since dead bodies were not removed or taken care getting through the bodies and having to experience this is scary. The smells and sights of this were terrible. I think surviving will not be a chose and death is the only option.

I have not had a full meal in at least a month. I am weak and exhausted. Every time I try to go to sleep I get awakened by guns or bombs. I really want to go home and rest. But I know I have to stay and fight for our country and land.
