What did soldiers do to pass the time in the trenches in ww1?

The soldiers would play games of cards (if they were lucky to have a set.) Others would write letters home, and also read letters their families have sent. Some prayed day and night for life. They all sang silly songs and watched silly show/performances to keep spirits high.the soldiers were either sleeping or merely fighting it was tough times and they could not just stay still sometimes they would try and makes the trenches cleaner as the had to be under very under hygeinic standards which led to trench foot and rats caused by dead corpses


Did the soldiers in World War 1 eat stale food?

No they did not. The actual meal arrangements was that a pair of soldiers would be sent from the front line to some of the auxiliary trenches (the trenches located behind), they would then move barrels containing the food (usually a form of stew that was prepared every meal time) to the front line. If one person tripped or the stew was spied, the soldiers went without. Hope this answers it!

The trenches were in the front lines of the war zone, they were dug by the soldiers who then both fought from and lived in these trenches for long periods of time. They were small but not as small as we would think. They were dug in a zigzag pattern so that if an enemy breached the defenses and entered the trench he would not be able to kill a lot of soldiers since they would not be in a straight line.
