Living conditions at the front line during ww1?

Answer 1

The living conditions were really unpleasant. In the summer the heat would be extreme all day and night, and in winter the days were extremely cold that some soldiers that were on duty froze at their poles. The trenches were filled with stagnant water andinadequate sanitation, being immersed in flies, lice, mosquitoes and rats, and taking into account the rotting, empty food tins and a lot of dead bodies piled across the area between the trenches called no man's land- it was not surprising that disease was widespread.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Going into more detail,

the conditions were extremely dis-comferting. It was surprising how they actually survived the trenches, let alone the fireing Germans, Russians and Austrian-hungarians. Many wrote to their loved ones, letting them know about how they wish they were back at home. Although most of the time, any letters sent wuld not arrive at it's destination until weeks or even months later.

Diseases were very easily caught in the trenches. The main one was Trench foot. It was very painful and would be so bad, the only way you could treat it was to let it heal naturally. The war was that frightening that some soldiers tried their very best to get trench foot because they knew that they would be taken from the trenches and sent to the hospitals further back away from the trenches. In the hospitals you lived in better, almost clean, conditions where you recieved care and comfert.

Answer 2

Much better in a way than during WW 2. Of course many of the men were fighting in France, which put a lot of hardships on wives, but Britain was not as dependent on imports as in WW 2; plus, a U-boat war to add to shortages was mostly a thing of WW 2. Bomber planes did not yet exist, so Britain never suffered from bombing raids on its territory. Not was there any fear of Germany wanting to invade Britain, so Britain had no blackouts at night, nor did it have to enlist all its non-fighting males in a Home Guard.

Generally speaking, living conditions for the poor were much harsher than they are now, but Britain being in this war did not make a great difference for many in everyday life.
