Everything got bogged down. Motor vehicles and cannons and horses and men got up to their knees in goop and had great difficulty moving around. It was slow getting the wounded men out and dead bodies were left quite often where they fell and this caused the rats to breed and eat the bodies and disease spread. It was a mess.

This killed many men in the war, just because of wet feet.
