I n this book, we’re going to talk about the conditions of soldiers who fought in the trenches in World War I. So, let’s get right to it!

























World War soldiers firing from a trench










W orld War I was primarily fought in the trenches. The pattern of the fighting and the daily life of the soldiers varied a great deal depending on the location. More than likely most soldiers who signed up to fight had no idea how little ground they would cover during the war. Trench warfare was very slow and the conditions were very unsanitary and hazardous.











A WAR WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT
M ost countries didn’t expect World War I, also called the Great War, to last very long. They expected the action to be quick moving and to cover a tremendous amount of ground. However, for the ground troops, the exact opposite was true. For the years from 1914 until 1918, the trench warfare meant that the movement forward was very slow.

WESTERN FRONT









T he war began with the dramatic advances by the German armies through the country of Belgium and the country of France on their way to the city of Paris. However, as soon as trench warfare began, the movement slowed to a crawl. The line on the Western Front did change as local battles were won and lost, but in general there was not much movement until the war was almost over.










DAILY DEATH WITHIN THE TRENCHES
D eath was a daily occurrence in the trenches. Even if no active battle was taking place, disease took its toll. In areas where active battles were ongoing, the endless firing of shells brought a quick and random death.
