Life in the trenches was hell for many soldiers. The living condition were dreadful and dangerous. Water and mud caused soldiers to suffer from "Trench-Foot", that cause the foot to swell, the foot then begins to rot. Soldiers can spend up to two weeks at a time in the trench.

Soldiers in trenches lived with rats that ate dead soldiers and they spread diseases such as plague. Lice was another health hazard. Lice was very hard to get rid of and they spread "Trench-Fever", that gave soldiers headaches, sore muscles, and skin breakouts. Mustard gas was very deadly hazard in the trenches, it burned soldiers from the inside out that resulted in a very painful death. It was later banned from other wars after WW1. Aside from catching life threating diseases and infections, bombs were frequently going that, if to close, resulted in damaged eardrums and lost hearing. If the trenches were not dug deep enough, soldiers were at risk of getting their head blown off from opposing sides. In the trenches soldiers were never safe, always at risk of killed and still to put up with terrible living conditions.
