What do you think a soldier meant when he wrote soldiering is 99 percent boredom and 1 percent sheer terror?

No matter what era, what era, what country, what culture, or what kind of military action, soldiering is pretty much either boredom or terror. Boredom consists of sitting around waiting for orders, marching or traveling in response to the orders, waiting around longer for the "action" to begin, and perhaps then hearing changes to orders ("Get ready!" = "Stand down!"). Or, soldiers are in the midst of fighting, when terror overtakes hearts and the threat of death makes believers out of atheists.

What did soldier do in their spare time in the trenches in world war one?

When they had free time they would often write letters back home or repair the sandbag. The feeling of boredom was considerably reduced and replaced by desperation and terror when most everyone aside from your buddies was out to get you either in sorties, sneak attacks in the night, purposeful shelling by the enemy, accidental shelling by your own side, gas drifting in from one direction or another, and rats full of the folks that died the previous day wandering the trenches to see if you were on the menu yet.
