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.

How were the living conditions for the british soildiers in war world II?

When in the UK, British soldiers had a better ration than civilians and better access to medical facilities. They would have been billeted in barracks. When fighting they had better living conditions than the Germans and Russians but not as well as the US forces. Like any front line fighting force they would have had to live in the open in dug-outs during fighting. But when relieved from the front would have been billeted in tents.

Have women ever in any country been allowed to fight in the front line?

In WWII, on the Russian front, there were women fighter pilots, snipers, radio operators, medics but I don't think front line infantry. During the Israeli war of 1948, they were on the front lines, but I don't know what capacity.


What is an IFR hold line?

The VFR hold line is the line on the taxi way which vehicles are not allowed to cross without permission from ATC during VFR weather conditions. The IFR hold line serves the same purposes but during IFR weather. In most places there will simply be a "hold line" which serves as the hold line during both VFR and IFR conditions.... but in situations where an aircraft waiting at the hold line may interfere with ground-based radio signals (such as an ILS approach signal) an IFR hold line may be positioned farther back from the runway to reduce this risk.

Why does the Western Front not run through Switzerland?

The Western Front was the name of the front line between the two waring sides in the First World War. Switzerland was neutral during the First World War, neither of the two waring sides were allowed to send troops into Switzerland. So there was no fighting and no front line in Switzerland.
