Being in the trenches during the war was one of the hardest places to be. The conditions were atrocious and many soldiers died from the conditions alone. In order to avoid any troupe from being in the trenches for too long the units all routed. A unit would do their time, usually about 10-14 days, and then they would be rotated out and serve further back on the line.

∙ 14y agoThere were tanks to take out the barbed wire that protected the enemies trenches. Commonly, if a head or body part was appeared above the enemy trenches, a sniper would've shot at the person and they would've taken the bullet, or just died off. Soldiers used machine guns to fire at the other side. They also used massive bombs to explode and destroy the area as well as the enemy.
