The horrors of war. Watching their friends and fellow men be ripped apart by a machine-gun burst, or vaporized by a direct hit by an artillery shell. The new weapons first used in WWI caused horrific wounds, both emotional and physical. But beyond the killing, the terrible conditions of the trenches also impacted the experience of the soldiers, as they were packed with disease, lice, rats and a boundless supply of mud.

∙ 12y agoThe fighting in world war one would be a dreadful experience on the soldiers as it wasn't exactly luxury for them, living in the trenches must be the most horrible thing i have ever had to research for an essay at school but now i know what it was like for the people in the war i feel sorry for them having to fight waist deep in mud and have many disease to fear of getting. Being unwashed for a very long time helped the men catch the diseases. They were overrun with lice and rats. Some rats the size of normal cats. It must have been a horrible experience listening to your friends screams cut half way and smell their rotting flesh. They even sometimes used their friends bodies to pass over mud and water.

∙ 14y agoMillions of men came home with out a leg, an arm, or blind, or deaf, or mentally broken due to the things they had to live through in the trenches. Others had their lives cut short through the effects of poison gas, and injuries due to blast, with collapsed lungs.
Others came home whole in body, appearing normal, but with such serious nervous/mental conditions that they could not work, and were confined to mental hospitals for the rest of their lives. In addition, some were known to "See" combat zones in their normal areas. Ex: A man dove to the ground for cover when a boy rattled a stick on the fence. The man had thought it to be machine gun fire.
The majority were able to resume their lives, but with various amounts of disability.
