How wide were trenches?
Some just wide enough for 2 soldiers to pass by each other and others smaller
How did they discipline soldiers in the trenches in World War 1?
They disciplined the soldiers in several ways. If the soldiers disobeyed the generals they would be punished either by imprisonment or cashiering. If the soldiers on the front line turned back when they went into on coming bullets, it often ended in death as they were classes as cowards. Discipline in the trenches became hard to maintain, as some soldiers turned to killing their own officers in protest of the conditions. Some French troops mutinied in 1917. Few soldiers could make sense of the continuing conflict.
Spare time activities in the trenches?
During WW1, the activities that soldiers did in their spare were to play cards, write in diaries, write letters home, or take some to sleep. Trenches were very unpleasant places for soldiers because the environment was often muddy and often had the stench of rotting corpses.
What were the trenches in kokoda like?
There were no trenches inKokodabecause they fought in the jungle. World war 1 (gallipoli) used trenches and it wasterrible. the soldiers were surrounded by dead bodies that had just been thrown down. also many would getdiseasessuch asmalaria. or there would be rats, mosquitoes, lice and many more just around and the soldiers would get sick from those. Also trench foot was a big one because after a while the soldiers boots would start to wear out and make holes so there feet would always be in the water. some soldiers trench foot was even permanent. I hope this helps!
What side of World War 1 had better trench system and why?
The Germans had the advantage as they concreted the bottoms of the trenches for sturdier walking also they were at the top of a hill on some occasions so all the water from their trenches ran into the English ones. To add to this, most of their trenches were over seven feet deep to ensure 'safer' living for the soldiers.
How did the trenches affect the soldiers in world war 1 and 2?

What were some of the health problems of being a soldier in the trenches?
When it rained, the trenches would fill with water and the soldiers had to stay in it. When they did, they would get some fungus disease known as "trench foot" on their feet from standing in the cold muddy water for so long. There were also rats.
What impact did trenches have on World War 2?
Trenches in the Pacific Theater of the war were absolutely vital to save lives. They dug them on every island they fought upon. Trenches in Africa, Italy and during the Normandy Invasion, Battle of the Bulge were critical too. The poor guys in the Battle of the Bulge and in the Ardenne Forest had to literally make snow trenches and even sleep in them. Some of the soldiers even used fallen vehicles for trenches and safe protection. Without trenches hundreds of thousands of men would have died, even if some did die in the trenches, especially when they stood up.

Did the soldiers in World War 1 eat stale food?
No they did not. The actual meal arrangements was that a pair of soldiers would be sent from the front line to some of the auxiliary trenches (the trenches located behind), they would then move barrels containing the food (usually a form of stew that was prepared every meal time) to the front line. If one person tripped or the stew was spied, the soldiers went without. Hope this answers it!
How did trenches contribute to world war 1?
Soldiers would dig trenches for protection. They also used them as a place to sleep during the war. They would take shifts so some people could sleep and others would be fighting. I hope this helps.

What was the command to the soldiers to get out of the trenches and charge the enemy?
The command would obviously be from the men's direct superiors. They would either whistle or ring a bell, to get the soldiers' attention, then shout the order or just order them immediately. If the trenches required stealth, then there would of course be some sort of silent signal involved, like a hand signal or a flag.
