Trench Rats can refer to the Nation Organization of Trench Rats, a fraternal organization of veterans who served in the trenches in various wars, or to the black rats (Rattus rattus) and brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) feeding on food scraps and decaying corpses of unburied soldiers in WWI and WWII.
